MTtOMt MONUMENT TO T8B W8WAT8B8& I
The undersigned, Committee of the Trustees of the Pilgrim Society of Plymouth, hereby certify that, with the
sanction of the Society, the Trustees have accepted the design of Mr. Hammatt Billings for a National Monu-
ment to the Forefathers, and he is authorized to appoint agents, receive moneys, and to solicit and collect sub-
scriptions for the prosecution of the work.
JOHN H. CLIFFORD. NATH'L B. SHURTLEFF.
SAMUEL NICOLSON. CHARLES G. DAVIS.
WILLIAM THOMAS. ELEAZER C. SHERMAN.
The importance in our annals of the event to be commemorated by this Monument — the birth of a nation which,
in less than two centuries and a half, has risen to rival the first empires of the Old World in power, wealth, and the
refinements of civilization, while it has far outstripped them in the race of progress, by establishing the capacity
of mankind for self-government, based upon universal education of intellect and morals — demands from those en-
joying the blessings inherited from the Pilgrim Fathers a noble and lasting testimonial; and the Society rely
with confidence upon the patriotism and liberality of their countrymen to sustain them in this effort to erect a
monument to the faith and self-sacrifice of our Forefathers, worthy of the grateful remembrance in which they
are held by their descendants.
Agents for soliciting and collecting subscriptions will visit every part of the country, and it is confidently hoped
that every American whose belief in universal liberty is sustained by seeing, day by day, the principles first planted
upon the Rock at Plymouth by the Pilgrims of the May Flower, spreading over wide wastes of barbarism, and
building up new States in the wilderness, will contribute something toward the first great monumental record ever
built by a nation to commemorate an event perfectly peaceful in its nature, and to preserve the memory of men
who sought a new land, not in pursuit of wealth, power, or glory, but for the free exercise of their religious faith,
and the establishment of the principles of universal self-government.
Every person contributing 60 cts. will receive a copy of the Memorial.
" " " $1.00, will receive a steel plate view of the Monument and the Memorial.
" " "' $5.00, an elegant steel plate Engraving of the Monument and become a life member of
the Pilgrim Society.
" " " $200.00, a Bronze Statuette 23 inches high, being an exact model of the Monument in
miniature.
Communications should be addressed to Hammatt Billings, Abchitect, or Rev. W. M. Harding, General
and Financial Agent, 8 Tremont Row, Boston, Mass.

THIS MONUMENT CAN BE BUILT.
" We are going to COMPLETE this Monument. We in Ohio will do a little, you in Massachusetts will do
a great deal, and all New England will do something, and thus the monument IS TO BE BUILT." — Hon. Sal-
mon P. Chase.
And why not? To think of anything else would be worse than folly after so much has been done, and after it
has now been well begun, and about one fourth of the necessary amount has been already subscribed. If it is
asked who approve and aid the work, we refer to the six thousand members of the Pilgrim Society whose names
may be found in another part of this book ; and then there is a still larger list of contributors of sums under five
dollars whose names arc enrolled, and to be handed down to posterity, in the Records of the Monument.
Now, Reader, will you be one of the number to complete this Monument? If you cannot give a large sum, you
certainly can give a small one, even " in these times," — " Where there is a will there's a way," — and thou-
sands more can do the same, and the work will be done.
Do not fix your mind upon the aggregate amount required and exclaim, — " Such a sum ! It cannot be done ! "
You are not expected nor desired to do the whole, any more than a single soldier is expected to win the victory
in battle, but simply to do your proportion.
You think, perhaps, that a monument less costly would be sufficient, and for such a monument" you would do
something. Then, friend, give that " something" now; and if enough others add their "somethings " and build
the costly monument, why should you object?
How long need it take New England alone to furnish the funds necessary for the work? If fully awakened to
the object, as Mr. Everett awakened the country to the Ladies' appeal for Mount Vernon, the thing would be done.
Let us then hear no more of the impracticability of building the Monument. We hope that no descendant of the
Pilgrims, no New Englander, no lover of the Union, every foot of which was sacred in the eyes of him who will
ever be first in the hearts of his countrymen, will use as a reply to this remark that the Pilgrim Fathers have a
more narrow claim on our national gratitude, and that the reverence, to their memory is restricted to local Hues,
to the limits of any portion of the Union, any class of sectarians, any less than the whole American people, the
whole Christian world. Whoever has a tittle of real love for Washington, real admiration of his virtues, real rev-
erence for the conscientiousness which formed the basis of his greatness, will have the same admiration, tho same

SOCIAL COMPACT OF THE FOREFATHERS.
On Saturday, the 21st of November, 1620, (the 11th, ac-
cording to the old style of computing time,) the Pilgrim
Fathers arrived at Cape Cod, in the May Flower, and an-
chored in Provincetown Harbor. Before making the usual
arrangements for landing, they entered into a combination
which served as the foundation of their government in
their new home. This became necessary, as some of the
strangers who were with them had let fall discontenteJ
and mutinous speeches, threatening that they would usJ
their own liberty when they came ashore, because noncl
had power to command them on account of their patent!
being for Virginia and not for New England, where thew
happened to be. The agreement was drawn up and signed
in tne cabin of the May-Flower by the heads of families!
and such others as were considered of proper age, the actl
being held in their opinidh as firm as any patent, and ir|
some respects more so. The form of this instrument!
generally Known in history as the Social Compact oil
the Forefathers, is preserved in " Bradford's Histor)"
of Plymouth Plantation, in the following words :
In y 1 name op God, Amen. "We whose J
names are undcr-writen, the loyall subjects of our dread
soveraigne Lord King Ja m e 8 , by y« grace of God of I

In alluding to this inimitable agreement, John Quincy
Adams has aptly said in his admirable discourse, delivered
at Plymouth in December, 1802, " This is perhaps the only
instance in human history of that positive original social
I compact which speculative philosophers have imagined as
i the only legitimate source of government. Here was a
unanimous and personal assent by all the individuals ot the
community, to the association by winch they became a
nation, ft was the result of circumstances and discus-
I sions, which had occurred during their passage from
Europe, and is a full demonstration that the nature of
civil government, abstracted from the political institutions
of their native country, had been an object of their serious
meditation. The settlers of all the former European colonies
had contented themselves with the powers conferred upon
them bv their respective charters, without looking beyond
the seal of the royal parchment for the measure of their
rights and the rule of their duties. The founders of
Plymouth had been impelled by the peculiarities of their
. situation to examine the subject with deeper and more
comprehensive research."

In the year 1620, there stood on the beach of a sandy
lore, at the south-eastern curve of Massachusetts Bay,
sneath an abrupt ridge facing the sea and some twenty
> thirty feet high, a large boulder of greenish granite,
pon whose top, sometimes covered by the angry waves
riven in before the north-east wind, probably no white
tan had ever stepped foot. On the 21st of December, a
ttle shallop was steered to the foot of this rock, and upon
climbed, one after another, a small party of emigrants,
jeking a home in the wilderness where tiiev might wor-
lip God according to the light which he had given them.
his sandy shore, then covered with woods, was the shore
f Plymouth, the granite boulder was the Forefathers'
:ock, and the party of sea-beaten, care-worn emigrants,
ere a portion of the Pilgrim Fathers.
He who now reading their strange and eventful his-
>ry, cannot seethe finger of God tracing the course of
lis people, leading them through weary wanderings to
lis place of rest, and separating them from evil and trou-
lesome companions by guiding them to this apparently
lhospitable shore, must, indeed, be blind; and he who
mong their descendants can attempt to turn their trials
nd misfortunes into ridicule, or speak with irreverence,
yen of the spot made immortal by the mark of their foot-
teps, is not without the cold heart and the shallow
rain of the scoffer.
It was natural that the Pilgrims should themselves re-
ard the rock merely as having been the place where they
inded, and that their immediate descendants, with the
ares of a new country upon their minds and hands, should
ave dwelt but little upon the hallowed associations which
^ere gathering around it. Yet we find that in 1741,
hen it was proposed to build a wharf near the rock —
hose position had been up to that time undisturbed—
ider Thomas Faunce, who was born in 1646, fearing that
ie rock might be injured, expressed great uneasiness;
and in the presen ce of many citizens, pointed it out as the
one on which the Pilgrims had landed, from their own
testimony repeatedly wren to himselfc
Not the pass whereLeonidas and his companions turned
back the waves of Persian invasion,— nor the slope
upon which the brave Switzer, Winkehied, gathered into
his own breast the sheaf of spears, —nor the spot when
Hampden fell in defence of right,— nor any place famous
and hallowed in human story is more worthy to be held
in perpetual remembrance, than this rock upon which
were planted the feet of those who brought in themselves
thegerms of every quality essential to national greatness*
The rock was broken in two in an attempt during
the Revolution to remove it to the Town Square. The
piece represented in the engraving, is now placed in front
of Pilgrim Hall, where it is surrounded with a heavy iron
railing, upon which are the names of the passengers of
the May Flower. The otherpiece remains m its original
site ; and the Pilgrim Society is erecting over it a canopy
of granite, for the double purpose of enabling it to be seen,
ana to preserve it.
JOHN CARVER.
The first notice we have of John Carver, in the history
of the Pilgrims, is At the time when they had determined,
if possible, to settle somewhere by themselves in the terri-
tory of the Virginia Company, and endeavor to obtain from
King James a special dispensation of religious liberty for
themselves and tneir descendants, — and Carver and Cush-
man, who are represented as influential members of the
congregation, were sent to England to negotiate with the
company.
Carver was, at this time, a Deacon of the Church, —he
took an active part in all the arrangements for the voyage
and settlement, — was one of the passengers in the " May-
Flower," and, upon the signing of the social compact, was
elected governor of the colony.
Shortly after the departure of the " May-Flower " for
England, which occurred on the 15th of April, 1621, Gov-
ernor Carver, who had been at work in the field, came
home complaining greatly of his head. In a few hours he
became speechless and insensible, and died after a short
illness, to the inexpressible grief of the colonists, who at-
tributed his death to mental anxiety and exhaustion occa-
sioned by his ceaseless labors for the common good. His
wife died but a few weeks afterwards. Bradford, whose
faithfulness to the cause had been abundantly proved
through the whole season of their trials ajid sufferings,
was chosen to succeed him, with Isaac AJlerton as his as-
sistant. j*f
Among the few memorials of JbrrOgrims, preserved
inPilarim HaD, is the chair oJ^Governor Carver, repre-
sented above.

Mr. Dallas replied as follows : — " Mr. Mayor, Reverend
Sir, and Gentlemen of the Committee : The repair of this
chapel, as a memorial of the Rev. John Cotton, you have
ascribed to the generous sympathies of a number of my
countrymen. Hence it is that my presence is deemed
aroropriate, to represent, in some sort, the American con-
tributors ; to accept, on their behalf, the acknowledgments
of the parishioners of St. Botolph: and to recognise the
moral ties which bind in fraternal * »eling the two Bostons
of Lincolnshire and Massachusetts. Agreeably to your
authentic annals, this ancient borough furnished, soon after
the Pilgrims of the May-Flower landed on Plymouth Rock,
more of her best citizens for Transatlantic colonization
than any other town in England ; and, in furnishing, as
she did, in 1633, a man so eminent for his ability and
attainments and so resolute in his civil and religious
opinions, as John Cotton, she gave a specially vigorous
and wholesome impulse to the newly-started community ;
of which its present generation gratefully desire to per*
petuate the memory, when John Cotton, dissenting from
the discipline, not the doctrines, of his church withdrew
from its vicarage, which he had occupied for twenty-one
years, and sought Jiis favorite " Christian Liberty " on a
soil yet tenanted by savages, he was welcomed with open
arms, and affectionately received by the Pilgrim Villagers

THE FILGKrMS OF THE MAT-FLOWER.
In. the opinion of not a few persons, they were a set of
stem, bigoted, and intolerant men, who fled from persecu-
tion in their native land to become the persecutors of others
weaker than thenift&lvEH, But nothing can be farther from
the truth* The pilgrims of the May-Flower were a com-
pany of men ana gentle women, with their children, ■ — a
large portion of them young men and women, between
twenty and thirty years of age when they left England for
Holland^ where they remained some twelve years, and then
embarked for the New World, In numlK>r about one hun-
dred, they Left Delfthaven, August 1, 1020, and, after seve-
ral delays on the coast of England, they reached that of
New England {then known as Northern Virginia), near
the beginning of winter. The work of exploring the coast
for a suitable landing place was attended with peril, from
the climate and the Indians, and occupied many davs. A
company sent out for this purpose in an open boat found
themselves in a storm of snow and rain t the £ca rough, their
rudder gone, their mast broken in three parts, overtaken
by one of the darkest of December nights, under the lee of
a small island in Plymouth harbor. Here the Sabbath
found them, hut th*y were not the men to pursue their ex-
plorations on that day. They rested, and for the first time
the silence of the New England wilderness was broken by
the voice <if Christian worship and a Christian Sabbath.
At length the landing was effected on the 21st of Decem-
ber, 1620. That EYE NT 3 s the parent of all the other events
in our national history, which we commemorate by monu-
mental structures or by annual festivities. In cherishing
and honoring the children, then, let us not be unmindful of
so worthy a parent.
Having landed, the work of preparing some means
of shelter was nt once commenced. The privations and
sufferings of almost shelterless women and children, "with-
out sufficient food, — aud even what they had, injured by
the long voyagCj—^ scanty clothing, colds and sickness
from exposure, — of these thimrs wc can but faintly con*
ectve in our luxuriouslv-furnished dwellings, by our com-
fortable firc-sides, and m our expensive garments. As a
result of tht^ir privations and exposure, within the first four
months after the landing, forty-four of their number had
passed away, and their graves were carefully concealed and
leveled, and sown with grain, that the keen-eyed and hos-
tile Indian might not learn their decreasing number and
consequent weakness* And before the firct anniversary of
their landing six others had increased the number of the
dead, thus lending but half the orignal number ; and nearly
all of those self-sacrificing men and women had gone from
the scene of their privations aud sufferings bvforc that
period of persecution on which some persons persist in
fixing their minds.*

The fact that a lurce portion of the pilgrims were tfOttngr
men and women, with their children, and voting peope un-
married, should not be overlooked* A number of them
were undtr twenty, and few only had more than reached
the* meridian of life. Ardent, full of hone, they led the
way, — the forlom-bope that fttorms the fortre&B, and per-
ishes in the attempt. They opened the pates to this broad
and rich domtiim They eiiw the land of promise, but fell
as their feet touched its borders, or ere any of them hnd
long been permitted to enjoy those civil and religious in-
stitutions of which they ptantcd the seed, while over their
neglected dust a crowding population has gone up to take
possession of every valley and hill-top.
Have these men and women, that thus periled all, and
thus fell in the very flower of their life, no claim on our
grateful remembrance ? Have they no claim on the young
men and young women of this day P Is it not fitting that
some monumental pile should be placed where they l[mded r
~- where, too, they fell, and where their dust still reposes,
— a structure worthy of such men — of sutm tctimrn f and
of such sacrifices, and on whltrh Hhnll be inscribed their
names ? Is it not fitting that the vonng men ami young
women of this age should place their names within this
structure, that coming generations may know who willing-
ly contributed to this cud, in grateful remembrance of the
tne sacrifices and sufferings, and to commemorate the early
death of those Pilgrims of the May-Flo wer ? "
Docs any one say, " I am too far removed from Fly-
mouth to feci much interest in this monument enterprise r "
But are you removed 6epaittithe benefits — the inestimable
privileges, civil and religious, which are daily flowing and
spreading wider and wider through the land, from the
prmefpia upon which the Pilgrims founded their Com-
monwealth ? AVhat has distance to do with the question ?
It is not merely for the people of Plymouth, of Massa-
sachuuetts, of New England, but of the Nation, without dis-
tinction of sect or narty, to be interested in this preat
work, and to aid in bringmg it to its completion* Wher-
ever intelligent Faith, with her open liihle, and pointing
heavenward; wherever Morality, Education, Law, and
Liberty arc recognised and cherished in this land, there
should be found liberal contributors to the croctmn of a
structure which shall be an honor to the Pilgrims, nn
honor to the contributors, and an honor to the age and
nation.

THE BREAKWATER AT PLYMOUTH, ENGLiND.
Plymouth, Massachusetts, was eo named first by Capt,
John Smith, perhaps because of a fancied resemblance
in situation to Plymouth, England ; and this name was
confirmed by the Pilgrim Fathers, on account of the kind-
ness which they received at that port before leaving their
Dative land* If in Smith's time the two harbors bore any
resemblance to eoch other, this resemblance must be still
greater at the present time. Those of our readers who
have visited our Plymouth will recollect the long beach
which stretches as a barrier between the harbor and the
ocean, and around the puint of which vessels are obliged
to pass to outer the harbor. Formerly the harbor of Ply-
mouth, England, was exposed to the sen, in the same way
OS the harbor of the Massachusetts Plymouth would be
were this beach broken away. In order to render the har-
bor a secure anchorage in case of storm, the government
of Great Britain, at the cost of about five millions of dol-
lars, have erected a stone break wjiter across the mouth of
the harbor, leaving a channel between the shores at either
end, — thus making an immense artificial beach, corre-
sponding exactly in position with the beach which protects
the Plymouth of the Forefathers from the fury of the ocean*
The following remarks* and description of the break-
water and its lighthouse, are condensed from an account
of a visit to the breakwater, by a writer in an English pe-
riodical ; and show with what affectionate veneration the
Pflgrims of the May-Flower arc remembered in their na
tivc land*—
" Plymouth Sound will surely carry hack any one ac-
quainted with English history, and imbued with sympathy
for the heroes of religious freedom] to the time of James I,,
and bring before his imagination that quaint-looking old
vessel which once harbored there, —now the well-known
May-Flower, — bearing in its bosom the Pilgrim Fathers,
destined by Providence to be the founders of the American
Commonwealth, — a vessel mere than worthy of being cou-
pled with the Grecian ayej, and one which the Plymouth
corporation might well he pleased to quarter in their ar-
morial bearings* We can fancy the brave-spirited men on
board that memorable ship talking over the state of then-
oppressed country, where conscientious people of their way
of thinking could no longer find a home* The tyranny
that threatened so many of their fellow-countrymen would
seem to them like that very sea which was rolling yonder
with tempestuous fury into the unsheltered sound* One
of hopeful spirit might have said, l The Lord in whom we
trust will one day raise upa barrier against such injustice,
and guard our children from the storms which emperil us/
Wc think we hear a rejoinder from one of little faith to
the effect : l It may be so, my brother ; but my hope lays
far behind thine. Nothing is impossible to God ; but to
roe it seemcth as strange that men like us should ever
have peace and liberty in this land of bondage, — that a
bulwark should ever appear strong enough to guard us
against the tempests of tyranny, — -as it would be for a
rock to rise out of these waters, and defend this town and
harbor from the fury of the southern gale ! '
41 While this fancied conversation falls on the ear* It is
(7)
^
not a little interesting to turn and find uprising from the
sea limit of this famous sound a real wall of rock, stretch-
ing like a reef the distance of a mile, and offering an effec-
tual front of resistance to the mightiest billows"
"When the May-Flower, hearing our Forefathers, an-
chored in Plymouth Harbor, — &nd for more than a cen-
tury and a half afterwards, — Plymouth Sound was one of
the most dangerous place* upon the English coast. Lord
Howe used to remark that "Torbay was likely one day to
prove the grave of the British, navy." Plymouth Sound
was more dangerous than Torbay, It was espied in the
south western gale to a tremendous swell; and the water
being shallow the vessel was dashed on the hard ground
and went to pieces. The Plymouth churchy ards and burinl-
grounds are full of the memories of ngoniring incidents of
shipwrecks ; and all the more dreadful that they occurred
within the sight ofhome nnd friends, It is said thaton an
average ten English ships were lost here every year.
In 178S, a plan was submitted to the government for
rendering the sound a secure place of anchorage , but it
was not till 180C that any active measures were taken to
carry it into effect. In 1811, after the rejection of vaiious
other projects, the plan of the present breakwater, pro-
posed by Messrs. Rennie and Whidbcy, was adopted. In
form, it is a long, straight dike or mole, expanded some-
what at the ends. The whole length is five thousand one
hundred feet ; the breadth of the top, forty-five feet , the
breadth at the bottom, four hundred and ten feet ; the in-
ner slope is one hundred and ten feet, and the outer, one
hundred and five. Notwithstanding the size of the blocks
of which this immense artificial reef is composed, it was
twice, daring Its construction, broken through by the waves.
In 1834, in the month of November, occurred the most
terrific storm which had been known for several genera-
tions. The water in the sound rose eight feet above its
highest mark ; and such was the terrific force of the waves
that nearly one*ha!f of the breakwater then finished was
displaced. Nearly two hundred thousand tons of stone
were lifted up and moved from their position. Yet it is
probable that even in its then extremely imperfect state it
saved the lower portion of the town from ruin, by break'
ing the force of the waves*
The experience gained from these storms enabled the
engineers to jierfect their work. The spaces between the
great blocks of stone were filled in wiLh rubble, and the
angles of the slopes decreased in order to present less di-
rect resistance to the waves.
In 1841 the lighthouse at the western end was com-
menced, and finished in November, 1843. The height is
fifty-nine feet ; and the structure forms, as may be seen by
the cut, a not inelegant tower. It is divided into five
floors, and the entrance is approached by a narrow stair-
case from the breakwater, somewhat like a ship's ladder.
About fifteen thousand cubic feet of granite were used in
its construction*
THE PILGEIMS' FIRST SABBATH ON SHORE.
UY HEY, J S» CLAHK, t>. 1>.
'Why has no painter immortalized his name by trans-
ferring to canvass this Sabbath scene [on Clark's Island],
the first ever witnessed on the shores of New England ?
As an illustration of the true Pilgrim spirit, nothing can
exceed it. We see them now, in imagination, grouped in
devout posture around a forest fire, while "Deacon Car-
ver/' the newly elected governor, reads from his pocket
Bible an appropriate chapter, and " lines " a favorite psalm*
which gives vent to full-hearted and high-sounding praise.
TFe hear the fervent prayers and earnest prophesy ings of
Bradford and Win slow, who, though yet young, are much
experienced in these exercises* We behold the solemnity
that rests even on the sailor's countenance, as, silently
musing on perils recently passed, he participates in the
service, while notarising cloud, nor breaking wave, nor
frightened sea-gull escapes his ever watchful eye.
But why are they than, under the open canopy of
heaven, on that raw December day ? Because it was just
there that the Sabhath overtook them, while searching to
find a place of settlement for themselves and their little
ones, whom they left four days ago at the end of Capo
Cod, on board the May-Flo wer t in charge of a captain who
begins to talk of setting them all ashore on the sand, un-
less they find a place soon.* But how is it that, under
such a pressing necessity they can spare the time for so
much psalm-sin ging, and prayer, and prophesying? Do
they not know that works of '* necessity and mercy ** are
lawful on that day ? Yes, but they do not believe that then-
present necessities are sufficient to justify a suspense of
the Sabbath law in the sight of God. They are even mora
scrupulous than that; rather than approach the Lord's
Hay under suoh bodily exhaustion as will unfit them for
religious worship (an essential part of their Sabbath obser-
vance), they would spend the whole of Saturday in recov-
ering tired nature from extra fatigue, and in preparing far
the Sabbath, — as they actually did \

ATTEMPTS OF THE PILGRIMS TO ESCAPE TO HOLLAND,
Sing Jnmos had determined to " harry the Puritaas
and Separatists out of the land," and the whole ma-
chinery of despotism was put in motion for this purpose.
The Court of High Commission, an eclesiastical tribunal
empowered to detect heretics, punish absentees from the
established church, and to reform all heresies and schisms,
possessed power not only to fine and imprison at pleasure,
but could compel the civil power to hunt up and drag
before them the miserable victims of bigotry and intol-
erance, (t An act," says Hoyt, "was passed in 1393, for
punishing all who refused to come to church, or were
present at any conventicle or unauthorized meeting. The
punishment was imprisonment until the convicted agreed
to conform* and made declaration of his conformity ; and
if that was not done in three months, he was to quit the
realm, or go into perpetual banishment- In case he did
not depart within the time Umited, or returned without
license, he was to suffer death/' Thus pressed and perse-
cuted, the church to which Brewster and Bradford belonged
resolved to take refuge in Holland.
Their first attempt to sail from Boston, in Lincolnshire,
was defeated by the treachery of the master of the vessel,
who, having received them and their goods on board his
ship, delivered them np to the officers, by whom they were
rifled of all their money and valuables of every descrip-
tion. Fortunately the magistrates of Boston sympathized
with their sufferings, and, after a month's imprisonment,
they were sent back to their homes*
But this failure, although so disastrous, did not re-
strain them from a new effort to accomplish their purpose.
The year aJter, they agreed with a Dutch skipper at
Hull to take them to Zealand, supposing there would bo
less risk m so doing than in again employing one of then-
own countrymen.
In order to avoid the risk of embarking at a large sea
port, they bargained with him to take them on board at a
| lonely common on the flat coast between Hull and
Grimsby. Every precaution was taken to prevent sur-
prise j the men were to gather at the appointed rendez-
vous in small parties, while the women and children, with
their goods, were to be conveyed thither in a small vessel.
On reaching the spot, the ship had not yet come up, and
the women and children suffering with sea-sickness were
landed. The ship did not muke its appcaxance until the
next day, when, the hark in which they landed having
been left ashore by the tide, the captain was obliged to
take the party off in Jus boat.
Scarcely, however, had the first boat-load, consisting
mostly of men, been taken aboard tfcs ship, when the
party on the shore were surrounded by a band of of horse
and footmen, armed with guns, bills, &c, and made pris-
oners before the eyes of their husbands, fathers, and rela-
tives, in the ship, who were utterly without means of
helping them, and, to crown their distresses, the iDuteh-
man, fearing to be implicated in the consequences, hastily
weighed anchor, hoisted sail, and was soon a mere speck
on the horizon.
The agony of those on board was intense, but still
more deplorable was the case of the fugitives on shore,
most of them women and children, with but a few men
who had remained, to protect them.
41 The women," says Bradford, " being thus apprehend-
ed, were hurried from one place to another, and from
one Justice to another, until in the end they knew not
what to do with them, for to imprison so many women
and innocent children, for no other canse than that they
would go with their husbands, seemed to bo unreasonable,
and all would cry out at them - t and to send them home
was as difficult, for they alleged (as the truth was) that
they had no homes to go to, for they had sold or other-
wise disposed of their lands and living/* Thus they
endured a world of misery, until their persecutors being
wearied out, they were suffered to escape and join their
relatives in Holland.

kdward Window joined the FilgTims under Robinson
at Leydcn, in the year 1617, while journeying on the Con-
tinent with his wife. Combining with the piety wliich dis-
tinguished the rest of the Pilgrims, a knowledge of the
world and society, and threat energy in the practical pursuits
of life, he was a valuable addition to their number. He
took an active part in all the affairs of the emigration of the
infant colony, and was enabled by his influence no leas than
by bis labors to render the colonists essential service.
He conducted the first conference with the Indians w r hen
Massasoit came to visit the settlement ] was four times
sent to England as agent of the colonics of Plymouth and
Massachusetts Bay ; and in 1G33, was chosen governor of
the Plymouth Colony, a station to which he was twice af-
terwards re-elected. The first importation of cattle into
New England in 1G"23, was made by him, and consisted of
one hnll and three heifers*
Being appointed by Cromwell, one of three commission-
ers to overlook the expedition against the Spaniards in
the West Indies, lie died at sea, in the year lti-Jo, in the

REV. JOHN ROBOSON.
The birth-place of Robinson is unknown, although he is
believed to have been a native of Lincolnshire; nor is it
positively ascertained whether he received his education at
Corpus Christt or Emmanuel College. After his ordina-
tion he commenced his ministerial labors at Mundham,
in the vicinity of Norwich, where he was suspended from
the ministry on account of non -conformity. Retiring to
Norwich, he gathered a small Separatist church, wiLh
whom he remained for some years, exposed to the most
harassing persecution. * "*? .
He joined the congregation at Scrooby about 1G(H, as an
assistant to Smyth and Clyfton ; and after their emigration
to Holland, retained the charge of their little flock until
circumstances compelled them all to seek an asylum from
their enemies in a foreign land* ■■■■ «**
He was a man of gentle and beautiful character, singu-
larly free from bigotry, extremely liberal in his ideas and
feelings ; and well-fitted to watch over the interests of his
people, to sustain their drooping spirits, to unite them in
the bands of brotherhood, to sympathize with them in sor-
row, and to lead them through the crooked and narrow
path which they were obliged to travel.
As soon as the l^lgrinui had established themselves in
Leyden, Robinson, Brewster, and other principal members
took measures for organizing a church ; and not lone
afterwards, hr having in the meantime acquired the Dutch
language, Robinson was admitted a meml>cr of the Uni-
versity. He was much esteemed by the Dutch professors,
and his intellectual powers were regarded so highly that
he was selected by them to defend the tenets of Calvinism
against Episcopius t the must able advocate of Arminian-
ism, a controversy in which he achieved a complete tri-
umph.
After the departure of the younger and more active por-
tion of his congregation for America, Robinson lived in the
hope of joining them, with those who bad remained be-
hind. But this desire was defeated by want of means, and
by intrigues which prevented the merchant adventurers
from advancing money for the voyage.
In the lutter part of Februnrv, 1025 1 he was taken
with a mortal illness, and died at Leyden on the 11th of
March. His remains were buried in the Church of St.
Peter, as appears from a receipt for his buri;d fees, and a
record in the book of interments, but no stone niaTks the
place where he rests.

He sleeps not here ; in hone and prayer
His wandering flock haa gone hrfore,
But hr t the shepherd, might not share
Their sorrows on the wintry shore.
Before the Speedwell's anchor swung,
Ere yet the Mayflower's sail was spread,
While round his feet the Pilgrims clung,
The pastor spake, and thus he said:
"Men, brethren, sixers, children dear!
God calls vou hence from over urn. ;
Ye may not build by Haerlem Mccr,
Nor yet along the Zuyder-Zoe.
Ye go to bear the saving word
To tribes unnamed and shores untrod ;
Heud well the lessons ye have heard
From those old teachers taught of God*
Yet think not unto them was lent
All lijjflit for ali the coming days,
And Heaven's eternal wisdom spent
lu making straight the ancient ways.
The living fountain overflows
For every flock, for every lamb,
Nor heeds, though angry creeds oppose
With Luther's dike or Calvin's dam."

With tears of love and partings fond

Along the isle of Ysselmond.

And grated soon with lifting keel
The sullen shores of Falhcriaud.
No home for these! — too well they knew
The mitred king behind the throne j —
The sails were set, the pennons flew,
And westward ho! for worlds unknown*
— And these were they who gave us birth,
The Pilgrims of the sunset wave,
Who won for us this virgin earth r
And freedom with the soil they gave.
The pastor slumbers by the Rhincj —
In alien earth the exiles lie, —
Their nameless graves our holiest shrine,
His words our noblest battle-cry !
Still cry them, and the world shall hear
The dwellers by the storm-swept sea!

TOTVN HALL, LEYEEN.
The Pilgrims are snpposed to have removed to Leyden
about the year 1608. It was at this time one of the most
wealthy and prosperous cities of Europe, being second in
Holland only to Amsterdam.
In 1573-4 it hud suffered one of the most memorable
sieges on record; its inhabitants had been reduced to the
very verge of starvation and despair; and the city was
saved from the Spaniards by breaking down the dykes and
flooding the land with the sea* After the pacification of
GhcnCm 1576, it began rapidly to recover its prosperity j
and during the residence of the Pilgrims, it had so increased
In population that it became necessary to enlarge its
boundaries.
The Town Hall, of which n view is given above, is the
chief edifice besides the churches \ it was built at an earlv
period, but the exact date is unknown ; and in 1481, it
blew up, causing the death of thirty-six persons. After
having been rebuilt it was remodelled m 1567* The Inte-
rior contains an immense ball, hung with portraits and
historical pictures.
In the pavement at the top of the stone staircase is
the inscription '*Niet sonder God" (Not without God),;
and another inscription above the door asks his blessing
on Holland and Leyden : (Lord, save Holland, and bless
Leyden!) and a singular acrostic of one hundred and
twenty-nine letters, answering to the number of days of
the greet siege, which lasted from Mav 2Cth to October 3d.
Among the pictures in the Council Chamber are several
relating to the siege ; and a very curious Last Judgment
by the scholars of Lucas van Leyden. From the bcll-^o-
wer is obtained a fine panoramic vjew of the city and ita
environs, stretching to the westward beyond Delfthaven
and the Hague.
HARDSHIPS AND PRIVATIONS OF THE PILGRIMS.
The mortality of the first winter was followed in the
sprint by a great scarcity of food. " Had wo not," says
Mr. Winslow, " been in a place where divers sorts of
shell-fish are, that may bo taken with the hand, we
must have perished r unless God hsd raised some un-
known or extraordinary means for our preservation. 1 '
It has been stated that they were at one time reduced
to a single pint of com, which, being equally divided,
gave to each person five kernels, which were parched
and eaten. «■
During the first two or three year* they were for sev-
en! months together destitute of corn or any kind of
bread; and in the fourth year after their arrival, they
wore threatened with the total destruction of their eropj
and absolute famine. From about the middle of May to
the middle of July , they had not one shower of ram, and
the extreme heat of the snu upon their sandy soil had so
dried up their corn, that they were almost in despair of
its ever being restored j but in the eveuinc, after a day
of fasting and prayer, it began to ram, aud by repeated
showers their corn recovered its verdure, and they had
a plentiful harvest.
New comers were extremely affected with the miser-
able condition of those who had baanvIouwX^cixfeb-^aa^

w
In the country. An interview with old friends in such
circumstance* of suffering was truly appalling. ** The
neat dish we could present them with,' 7 says Gov. Brad-
ford, 1[ was ei lobster or piece of fish, without any bread,
or any tiling el^o bnta cup of fair spring water; and the
long continuance, of tbid dieL with our labors abroad,
has somewhat abated the frtphnes* of our complexion*;
but God gives us health,"
Many of tboso who were subjected to these privations
were accustomed in their native land to the privileges
of affluence and honor. It is said of Elder Brewster, in
I particular, that u with the most submisFivo patience ho
bore the novel and trving hardships to which his old ago
was subjected, lived abstemiouslvj and, after having
been in his youth the companion of ministers of state,
the representative of Ins (sovereign, familiar with the
magnificence of courts, and the possessor of a fortune
sufficient not only for the comforts but for tin elegances
of life, this bumble pilgrim labored steadily with his own
hands in the fields for daily subsistence. Destitute of
meat, of fish, and of bread, over the simple meal of
clams would bo return thanks to the Lord that ho could
suck the abundance of the seas, and the treasures hid in
the Eand."
Said another of these men, "I take notice of it as a
great favtir of God, not only to preserve my life, but to
ffiva mo conUnttthit&z in our straits; insomuch that I
do not remember that ever I did wish in my heart that I
had never come into thia country, or wish myself back
again to my father's house.' 7
£
COSTUMES OF THE PILGRIMS.
The accompanying illustration conveys a very good idea
of the general costume of the Pilgrims, which, nowever,
varied somewhat, both in form and materials, according to
the station and means of the wearer. It originated in the
reign of King James L> and was then confined to com-
paratively a small number of people* — the members of a
persecuted religious sect; but in the reign of his suc-
cessor, Charles 1., it became, with slight mortifications, the
universally adopted costume of a large and powerful poli-
tical party , which, taking its stand on the rights of the
people as opposed to the arbitrary will of the sovereign,
inally defeated him on the batde-neid, Mid deprived him
of both crown and lift*. For half a century it was the pre-
vailing dress in England and her American colonies \ and
as the costume of John Bunyan, Richard Baxter, John
Hampden, Oliver Cromwell, end their cotompororiea. it
will ever be regarded in history as a marked illustration
of an *gv remarkable for the advances which it made in
every direction towards freedom of thought and its con-
sequents, — civil and religious liberty.
Willi ah BRADvoiui,who succeeded Carver as govern-
or of the colony, may well be said to have been one of Its
chief founders. He was a native of Austcrncld, a small vil-
lage, within u walk of Serooby, where, in his early days, was
a Separatist church, presided over by » pastor of the
mime of Richard Clyftcn, tthose preaching exercised a
great influence throughout the surrounding couniiv, and
deeply impressed the mind of Bradford,— peculiarly sus-
ceptible to serious impulses. He was sprung from the
ranks of the yeomanry, a class of sra&U lauded proprie-l
tors, among whom were to be found the best of the na- 1
[[■thill characteristics of the English people, — indei^n- 1
denco, industry, and manly solf-rrapctt, His parents died
when he was quite young, leaving him a considerable in-
heritance for one in his station. Brought up to the labors, :
and receiving only the scanty education, of a fanner of
that day, his natural thirst for knowledge and power of.
intellect enabled him to acquire most of the learning of!
the age. He mastered Dutch, French, Latin, Greek, audi
even Hebrew; which he studied with earnestness, "that
he might see with his own eyes the ancient oracles of God
in all their native beauty." lie adopted, with the earnest
enthusiasm which was the great characteristic of his mind,
the theological views of the Separatist divines, and moulded
his life strictly in practice to his religious belief. Be-
coming, early in life, a leading man among the Separa-
tists of England, he left with the emigrants who fled to
Holland, and finally became the venerated governor and
historian of the infant State h America which he had so
greatly assisted to found. He lived almost through the
whole period of the English Commonwealth, and saw
other flourishing colonics, the offspring of that at Ply-
moutbj rising around him, and forming the germ of an im-
mense nation; by all of whom he was regarded with the
love and veneration due to a patriarch*
Gov, Bradford was twice married, — first to Dorothy
Mav, who accompanied him to America, but was drowned
by the upsetting of a boat in Cape Cod Harbor, during his
absence on one of the journeys of exploration. He subse*
quently married Mrs, Alice Southworth, to whom he is said
to have been attached before leaving England, and whocamc
over to Plymouth, on his invitation, to become his wife*
In the engraving of Burying Hill may be noticed an obe-
lisk, erected some years Einco to his memory, over the spot
where his body lies interred. Many of his descendants
lie buried around him, — among whom are his two sons ;
ihe gravestone of one being given below, as a specimen of
the style which prevailed immediately after the first settle-
ment of the colony,

Delfthaven, or the haven of the city of Drift, is about
fourteen miles from Leydcn, on the river Maas, by which
it communicates with the sea* It is now a quiet, old-fash-
ioned place, and of but 1 it tie commercial importance. The
haven or harbor, consist a of a long canal running hack
from the river, bordered with trees, and its quay on either
side bounded by old-fashioned houses, with huzh, quaint
gables, some of them bearing the dates of their erection
about a half a century previous to the embarkation of the
Pilgrims, Here those who were to remain behind, includ-
ing their venerable and beloved pastor, took leave of their
friends and companion* in exile, being " not able to speak
to one another, for the abundance of sorrow to part."
The place still remains almost the same as when they
left it ; perhaps it is even more quiet ; and the little Dutch
vessel represented in the cut is quite as large, and pro ha*
bit, fuU as seaworthy as the little Speed well, in which they
embarked upon their voyage, taking their Inst leave of each
other with many embraces and many tears, and looking
back with straining eyes, as the level shores, and long fa-
miliar landmarks receded in the distance*
fj When they came to the place," says Bradford, " they
found the ship and all things ready ; and such of their
friends as could not come with them, followed after them ;
and sundry also came from Amsterdam to see them
shipped, ana to take leave of them* That night was spent
with little sleep by the most, bat with friendly entertain-
ment aud Christian discourse, and other real expressions
of CJiri'^tfiiTi love. The next day, the wind bchi|arjhaT t dtt9
went on board r and their friends with them, when truly
doleful was the sight of the sad and mournful parting/'
** But the tide, which stays for no man, calling them away
that were thus loth to depart, their reverend pastor, falling
down on his knees, and ati they with him, conimcnded
them with, most fervent tears to the Lord and his blessing ;
and then, with mutual embraces and many tears, they took
their leave of one another — which proved to be their last
leave to many of them," Such is the affecting description
of that " Embarkation at Delfthaven," which was then but
the sorrowful parting of a few poor, sad exiles from their
friends, but is now seen to be the first act in the founding
of an empire*
" Shut now the volume of history, and tell me, on any
principle of human probability, what shall bo the fate of
this handful of adventurers ? Tell me, man of military
science, in how many months were they all swept off by
the thirty savnge tribes enumerated within the early limits
of New England ? Tell me, politician, how long did this
shadow of a colony, on which your conventions and trea-
ties had not smiled, languish on the distant coast ? Stu-
dent of history, compare for me the baffled projects, the
dsacrtcd settlements, the abandoned adventures, of other
times, and find the parallel of this. Was it the winter's
storm, beating upon the houseless heads of women and
children ; was it hard labor and spare meals ; was it dis-
ease ; was it the tomahawk ; was it the deep malady of a
blighted hope, a mined enterprise, and a broken neart,
aching in its last moments, at the recollection of the loved
and left beyond the sea ; was it some, or all of these united,
that hurried tliis forsaken company to their melancholy
fiite? And b it possible that neither of these causes, that
not all combined, were able to blnst this bud of hope ? Is
it possible, that from a beginning so feeble, so frail, so
worthv not so much of admiration as of pity, there has
gone forth a progress so steady, a growth so wonderful, an
expansion so ample, a reality so important, a promise, yet
to be fulfilled, so glorious ? " — Edward LvenWt Oration,

Upon the depart ure of the Pilgrims from H oil an J, it
was agreed that their pastor, Robinson, on account of bin
age and infirmities, should remain with those who were
to come over when the settlement was effected; and the
choice for a minuter fell upon William Brewster, who,
although not regularly ordained, was well qualified by his
natural powers, hy education, :md by having long been a
leading elder in the church, to fill that umce.
He was a man of good family, had been educated at
Cambridge (probably itt Emmanuel College founded in
15&5, by Sir Walter Mildnm) ; and afterwards went tip
to London to seek employment at court. Here he became
acquainted with Willi urn Daviwm. Secretary of State, and
entering his service was employed by him in various mat-
ters of trust. Davison being sent by Elizabeth tu the
United Provinces to conclude a negotiation for a. loan
which she had consented to make on the security of three
important seaports, Brewster accompanied him; and was
entrusted by him with the safe keeping of the. keys of
Flushing. At their return, Davison was presented by
the authorities with a golden chain, which Mr. Brewster
wore In England as fljej rode together through the coun-
try, on their way to the court. Davison and Brewster wore,
however, destined to feel to the full how little frith can be
placed in the fa vo r of prince*, f inflexible i i itcgrity , high
principles, lofty sense of honor, and unsuspicious temper,
they were both ill-adapted to snst itu for any considerable
time, a position in a court practised in intrigue, and given
up to dissimulation of every kind and degree.
Elizabeth having deter minrd upon the drain of her
lovely nnd unfortunate rival, Mary, Queen of Rrots, scut
privately fnr Davison, and ordered him to draw the death-
warrant, which she immediately signed, and sent by him
to the chancellor to receive the threat Seal. Upon the
denth of Mary, the Queen, with her usual insincerity, af-
fected great indignation at whnt she was pi cast d to term
the precipitancy of her on fortunate Fccretary, whom she
threw into the tower, and stripped of the create r portion of
his estates. Deeply nffertcd by this striking ex urn pie of
hard-hearted duplicity, Brewster si ill continued by his un-
fortunate master, rendering htm every service in his power.
Having at length satis ft c d every demand of duty to Ms
master and gratitude to his patron, he seems to have de-
cided to retire from a life, which reqidred for success the
sacrifice of every principle of honor and virtue, tn one
mote congenial to an honorable and ingenuous nnturc.
He withdrew to his estate in the country, where he Jived
for many years, " doing the best good he could, and wn Ik-
ing according to the lipht he saw, until the Lord revealed
further to bum," The tyranny of the churchj constantly
exercised against both preachers and people whnsc toil- |
sciences led Them to depart from its usages, led at length j
to the final separation of great numbers; and of these, '
Brewster was one of the leading spirits in his immediate
neighborhood, encouraging others both by precept and ex- j
am pic t to help forward the work of promoting the views
whieh they rntertained in common \ andashisimgthem in
their necessities under the privations of a relentless perse- j
cut ion, often f perhaps, beyond his means,
U|H>n the determination of James to harry the Puritans
and Separatists out of the land, in whieh he was worthily
seconded by t lie prelates and Their Agents, acting by nuMMtfl ' !
nT the Court of High Commission, Brewster vilh many i
others resolved to Hy for refuge to Holland, In the ar-
rangement necessary for the accomplishment of this object |
he appears to have bad mainly the charge and direction of j
their business. Although they failed at the first attempt .
to leave England, at Boston, through the treachery of the
captain of the vessel hired to transport them, :md were
seized, scare bed, rifled of their money and goods, thrown
into prison, and the ringleaders finnlly bound over to the
assizes, they mumi^-d afterwards, but after many vicissi-
tudes, to reach that haven of the opj tressed.
On their arrival in Holland, Ure water, originally a man
of property, was so reduced that he was compelled to labor
for his subsistence. His occupation was to teach English,
which he did with such nioecMi that number a of the stu-
dents at Lcydcn resorted to him to acquire that language
after their regular studies ut the university were cunt Wed,
In addition to this he set tip a private printing press, at
which many of their books and pamphlets were printed
in English f and sent over to England for private distribu-
tion. This rendered him so obnoxious to James and his
bishops that the English ambassador ut the Court of Hol-
land was directed to have him sought out and apprehended,
the Dutch assenting, being desirous from motives of pol-
icy to preserve the friendship of the English king. He
transported himself rt ml family for a time to London where
he remained securely hidden until the danger was over.
When the Pilgrims had established themselves at Ley-
den, Kobinson was formally ordained as their pastor, and
Urewster was at the same time appointed elder. Vpon
the departure for America, as related u t me commence-
ment of this article, he was chosen to be the paatu* of the
emigrants mi til Robinson should be uble to join them.
This long-hoped for event never occurrodi Robinson dying
in Holland; and uploa few years of his death, at the ago of
eighty, Brewster tegnlady conducted the services of the
church when there was no other minister, preathing twice
evcrv Sunday; and this " both profitably and povior fully, 1 *
11 lie di{>d in his bed in pcarc, in the midst of his friends,
who mourned and wept over him, and ministered what
help they could unto him." A memorial of £ider Brew^
ster in the wlinpr of his chair, a cot of which is given be-
low, is still preserved in Pilgrim Hall ; and at the head of
this article is a fac-simUe of his signature*

GATE9 OF DELFT.
On their way from Leyd'en to the place of their embarka-
tion, the Pilgrims must have passed directly through the
fine o!4 city of Delft, and between the two fori meugates
represented in the engraving, winch are now swqit away.
The canal from Leyden to Delfthaven passes through
the city, and being then, as now, the universal highway,
muFt have been traversed by our forefathers; and the
%rc s *huyt, or caual boat, shown in the cut, is simjlnr, in
all probability, to that which carried tbem from their
eleven years home to the place of their departure. The
Imilding*! too, are those upon which they gazed as they
loosed slowly and sadly along. The gateways of mingled
iek and stone, piereeo' with loop-holes above and below ;
je tall tower of the New Church built in 1381, within
hich repose the princes of the bouse of Orange; the
hi Church, a ponderous and inelegant edifice, eontaui-
the tombs of three famous Dutch Admirals, one of
i j the great Martin Van Tromp, wsb killed combating
the English for the empire of the seas, in the year
._ — the lu^h houses with their variegated trebles, almost
hanging the canal in the towns through which they
d, — the long rows of spreading trees, "the, rich
ows of the country, enamelled with flowers, and spot-
with alwiort innumerable cattle, — the endless wind-
s, — the clean country' houses, each with its pavilion
hanging the water upon the bank of the canal, — the
ittions of roses and tulips ;*—- all these objects met
eyes, as Ihey do those of the traveller of the present
but with what different ctTect upon the mini They
about to leave a land which hail received them with
arms and kind hearts when they entered it poor,
'leas, friendless eiiles, and which had become to them
gth a second home. They were about to leave the
tit scenes of civilized Hfe, and its comforts and en-
**—¥*■ security fron4danger, its various means iff
employment and support, — to enter upon a long and per-
liaps dangerous voyage across an ocean, even then but lit-
tle known, — and to exchange all these advantages for an
uncertain home in a land of savages, — with an uncleared
wilderness around them, — and no strength, no security,
or protection, but the courage of their hearts, the strength
of their hands, and the overwatching Providence of their
Father in Heaven,
Jt furnishes a curions reflection to the American travel-
ler in Holland to look upon scenes which met the eyes of
his fathers before the first city was built upon our shores*
Two hundred and forty years have passed since down this
canal, between these old towers, passed the first shin-load
of emigrants to the northern shores of the United States.
Then this land of Holland was rich as it is now, — its
springs of industry were full ; its cities thronged with me-
chanics and merchants, with princes and burghers ; its
church towers and spires pointed to heaven. — Almost at
the moment when they left Its shores it had reached its
highest point of prosperity, as compared with other lands,
and until within a few years when the mighty engines of
modem civilization invaded its quietude and repose, Hol-
land remained unchanged During the same time what
immense alterations have taken place in the land which the
Pilgrim Fathers chose for their home ? What boundless
regions have been opened to civilization 1 what numberless
cities have been built ! how many commonwealths have
been founded ! what myriads of ships spec the ocean instead
of that little bark, then almost alone upon the waters ■
And all this change, all this progress, has mainly grown
out of the inspireoTenergy of those men and women, who,
on the 1st of August, lb2Q, left Delfthaven in the Speed-.
weH, and on the 21st of December landed from the May*
Flower on Plymouth Book.

DAVEIJJXGS OF THE PILGRIMS.
P* HasierL^wl^ ***&& rivi.i.,v*h in 1CC7- ia a letter
preserved in the library at the Hague, pives this account of
the settlement. Tin? houses are constructed of hewn
planks* with enrdens enclosed behind and at the sides with
boards. To prevent surprise, each had beside a defensive
stockade, and tla're were three wooden Rates at the ex-
tremities of the streets. In the centre, on the cross street,
stood the Governor's house, before which wa.s a square en-
closure, upon which four itntwervs were mounted ko as to
flauk the streets* Upon Burial (then called Fort) JIill,
was a lai^o square house, with a flat roof, made of thick
sawn planks, stayed with oak beams, unon the top of which
they had six four or five pounders, winch commanded the
whole neighborhood. The lower part of this fort was used
on Sundays for a church.
MTLES STJLNDISH.
One of the most prominent individuals of the Pilgrim
Band, the arm and shield of the infant colony, was Cap-
tain Myles Statidish, a man whose iron nerve and daunt-
less cour a rd contributed much towards carrying the Infant
Society tlirough the pmla with which it was menaced. He
was small of stature but sinewy and robust, with a consti-
tution of iron, and an intrepidity of spirit nurtured by a
military education, which no danger could appal.
His family was one of the oldest in Lancashire* having
flourished there from soon after the Conquest; arid several
of them had been distinguished for military spirit and
prowess*
Myles Standish inherited in a pre eminent degree the
family talent, and being compelled to seek his fo

THE FTLGRDT MEETING-HOTJBE,
On one of the most derated parts of Burying Hill, in
lymouth, the Pilgrim Forefathers of New England erect-
I their ftrst place of religious worship. The exact po-
tion of this rudely built structure can be easily pointed
it to the visitor who makes his pilgrimage to this
ulowed spot. Only a few steps, in an easterly direction,
om the tall granite memorial standing over the grave of
Ider Cushman may be seen a slightly rising mound, and
ire tradition places the first site of the Pilgrims' Meet-
g-house. The following allusion to this interesting
aiding, if such it may be colled, appeared in the issue of
* Pilgrim Almanac for 1360 :< —
" Close beside the green hillock subsequently selected as
e grave lot of the venerable Elder, the fathers in earlier
k ys built their humble sanctuary — small , indeed, but
en the only one in New England, and that one their
m, and untrammelled by the yoke of antiehristiim
mange* They did not place it obscurely, shaded and
dden from sight, as if afraid or ashamed that their
►use of God should be seen, — but upon the hill top, a
tide for the wayfarer, a mark for all, — the first object
attract and welcome the eye of the Pilgrim outcast,
eking shelter and repose in the land where the most
ject and Lowly might worship God a recording to the
dates of their own conscience, uncontrolled by the dog*
as of an established church and the intolerance of a
asting hierarchy. Here, still earlier, stood the scanty
rUficution of the peaceful little band of puritans, — a
mplc platform, with slender roof and unpretending bat-
tle mm ts, hewn from native forests. Blight as was the
structure, it served well to protect them from Cm sudden
inroads of savage beasts T and as a defense against the
more wily and barbarous Indian foe. It served another
and a holier purpose— it was the place of prayer and the
place of worship — the first rudiments of the first building
of the first church of the Pilgrim Fathers."
From a letter of Isaac DeRosieres, evidently a French
Protestant, written, probably, in 1C27, the following men-
tion is made respecting the same structure of the fore-
fathers : — *■ Upon the hill they have a large square house
with a fiat roof, made of thick sawn plank*, stayed with
oak beams, upon the top of which they have six cannons,
which shoot iron balls of four and five pounds, and com-
mand the surrounding country* The lower part they use
for their church, where they preach on Sundays and the
uaual holidays. They assemble by beat of drum, each
with his musket or firelock, in front of the captain's
door; they have their cloaks on, and place themselves in
order, three abreast, and are led by a sergeant without
heat of drum, Behind comes the governor in a long
robe j beside him, on the right hand, comes the preacher,
with his cloak on, and on the left hand the captain with
his sidearms and cloak on, and with a small rime in his
hand ; and so they march in good order, and each sets his
arms down near him. Thus they are constantly on their
guard night and day "
The accompanying engraving is intended to give an
ideal representation of the above described structure.

BUHYING HILL, PLYMOUTH.
On the brow of one of the highest eminences [n, the old
town of Plymouth rest the mortal parts of many of the
PQgrim Forefathers, — too many of them, alas, without
even a humble gravestLme to mark the spot of their sepul-
ture. The turf, in gently rising mounds, indicates what
tradition alone besides, in the absence of all written testi-
mony, makes more certain, that there the fathers are sleep-
ing from their labors.
IVhen the modern pilgrim finds hia way to Plymouth,
«nd, with filial veneration, directs his steps to the sabred
ipot where rest the fathers of New England, he is pecu-
liarly struck with the remarkable objects which are pre-
lented to his view. When he has ascended the high hill,
and looks around upon the innumerable gravestones which
aff Ttion has placed as the last tributes to the memory of
de Lrtcd parents, relatives and friends, be seeks in vain for
my ancient memorial to mark the graves of the May-
Flower pilgrims of 1620- Tn vain he inquires for the graves
pf those who came in the Fortune in 1621, m vain for those
of the Ann and Little James, in 1623. In vain he asks, in
vain he seeks. Of all these, Thomas Cushman alone of
the fortune, and Thomas Clark alone of the Ann, are re-
ll membered by tablets. Their graves alone were surely de-
' ugnated bv gravestones on Burying Hill. One of the old
eomprs, Fhineae Pratt, was similarly remembered in the
old burial-ground in Charlestown* Uncertain tradition,
however, has attempted to point out the burial places of a
few others, and modern memorials have been erected to
their memory.
In an elevated position in one part of this field of the
dead, may be seen the shaft erected: in memory of William
Bradford, not only* emphatically the Governor of the Ply-
mouth Colony, but the faithful chronicler of the Fugruns,
^
his associates in the groat enterprise* In another direction
is the large slab commemorating the life and services of the
venerable John Huwland ; and still, in another portion of
the held, the monument which the filial regard of Lhe Cush-
man family has raised over the grave of their pious ances-
tor, the excellent Elder. These, indeed, are modern erec-
tions, but not the le ss honorable.
The site upon Burying Hill on which the Cushman monu-
ment stands has hallowed family associations, and is not
in itself entirely devoid of interesting recollections of a
more general character* It is the identical spot selected for
the burial place of Elder Cushman by his bereaved friends
and religious associates; and beneath the turf which has
gTown for agesj and whose verdure has only now and then
been disturbed, as a new tenant has been admitted to the
community of the dead, to mingle ashes with those of the
venerated sire, rest the remains of the earliest of this Pil-
grim family, — the Cushmans. Around the Elder's hum-
ble pravc were buried many of the church, who, from their
feelings of attachment, desired to be near him m death, as
they had been with hiin in life ; — among these were the
officers of the church* with whom he had for so many
years ministered ; but his pastor was not permitted to be
with him in his lone sleep, hut is quietly reposing in the
distant regions of the sunny South* From this spot the
turf has now been removed, — but the sacred remains pre
still there* The turf has given place to more enduring
granite.
Close beside the green hillock subsequently selected as
the grave lot of the venerable Elder* the fathers in earlier
days built their humble sanctuary — small, indeed, hut then
the only one in New England, and that one their own, and
untrammelled by the yoke of a&Uchr.sUan. bondage. They
U*J
did not place it obncurely. shaded and bidden from sight,
as if afraid or ashamed that their house of God should be
seen, — but upon the hill top, a guide for the wayfarer, a
mark for all H — the first object to attract and welcome the
eye of the Pilgrim outcast, seeking shelter and repose in
the land where the most abject and lowly might worship
God according to the dictates of their own conscience, un-
controlled by the dogmas of an established church and the
intolerance of a blasting hierarchy Here, stiU earlier,
stood the scanty fortification of the peaceful little band of
Pilgrims, — a simple platform, with slender roof and un-
pretending battlement*, hewn from native forests. Slight
as was the structure, it served well to protect them from
the sudden inroads of savage beasts, and as a defense
against the hostile attacks oT the more wily and barbarous
Indian foe\ It served another and a holier purpose — it
was the place of prayer, the place of worship — the first
rudiment* of the nrst building of the first church of the
Pilmrim Fathers.
While standing within this ancient cemetery , the stranger
is forcibly struck with the appearance of ttie Large num-
ber of monumental tablet* and burial mounds which he
notices on all sides, compared with the smaller number of
buildings in the village at its base, — that the dwellings of
the dead far outnumber the dwellings of the living. The
iomicdiate scene presents a vast assemblage of the past and
a more limited population of the present — the quiet re-
mains of other days above, and busy and bustling life of
tonJay below Here is where the forefathers lie with their
children of more than two centuries, gathered together fat
family clusters, awaiting the call of the last great day* And
where could they lie more appropriately than in the chosen
land of their American pilgrimage ?
Extending the eye beyond the hill at his feet, and be-
yond the village and a few sparsely scattered houses adja*
cent, the stranger will witness the placid and hospitable
waters, formecfinto a safe and quiet Wbor j by the almost
surrounding headlands and projecting beaches. His at-
tention wilt be drawn to the Gurnet, at the eastward , with
its twin beacons, and to F aguish, noted for affording food
for the almost famished voyagers ;^ to Clark's Island, on
PEREGRINE WHITE'S APPLE-TREE.
Peregrine White was born on board the May-Flower, in
Cape Cod Harbor, at the time of the exploration of the
coast, made for the purpose of fixing upon a proper loca-
tion for a settlement. In consideration of his being '* the
first of the English born in these ports," he petitioned to
be allowed a portion of land, and was allotted two hun-
dred acres in wnat is now the town of Marshfield, where
he lived to the almost patriarchal age of eighty-three.
The tree planted by his hand, of which a cut is here
given, must have been one of the first, if not the "very
first, of its kind in that vicinity, and still produces fruit*

chief of which is laid the foundation of the na
monument to the Pilgrim Fathers, and to the fresh %
of Billington Sea, and the numerous crystal lakes c
townships. More southerly will be seen the Town ]
and Pilgrims' Spring, where the Pilgrims first que
their burning thirst ; and Watson's Hill, where fir
peared human friendship, in the person of the almos
lized Massasoit. Further to the east, following the c
the villages of Wellingly and Eel River, and the far-
beach, and the warning and inviting Manumet are
All these the stranger sees ; and he may also see, i
at his feet, the famous Leyden Street, where were th
dwellings of the Pilgrims, and the Middle Street, a:
North Street, lying parallel to each other, and at
angles with and between the Main Street and the
Street at the Water side, where were the first allot
of land — and he may see Forefathers' Rock, the p]
landing, and Cole's Hill, where were laid to rest, <
the first winter, half of the precious freight of the
Flower. Well may we say to him, as he stands
the graves of the Fathers,
Stranger! — As from this sacred spot, hallowed

passed in interest and beauty, — while you behold fk
mg towns and villages abounding in industry, pros
and happiness, where once all was dreary, inhosp
and desolate, — think of the self-sacrificing fore ft
learn to emulate their virtues, and firmly resolve to
mit unimpaired, to the latest posterity, the glorious 1
of their noble examples.
FULLER CRADLE.
The cradle, of which a representation is given
was originally the family cradle of Dr. Samuel ]
one of those who came over in the " May-Flower," ai
of the signers of the Social Compact. His wife was 1
hind, but came over afterwards in the " Anne." Full

than for his skin in his profession. He was sent

THE FEB5T SAEBATU IN NEW HAVEN.
BY ItE\\ LEUNAllD IJACUN, D, U*
Eight fears after the settlement of Plymouth, the colony
of Massachusetts Bay was commenced by Endicott and
liis company, at Salem; and, in 1G30, Boston, and the sur-
rounding towns were occupied by the illustrious Winthrop
and the hundreds of emigrants who followed him. In
wealth in a metropolis, and to the refinements of a court ;
here are ministers who have disputed in the universities,
and preached under gothic arches in London. These
men and women have come into a wilderness, to face new
j dangers, to encounter new temptations* They look to
163-% the first beginnings were made on the Connecticut i God, and words of solemn prayer go up, responding to the
Itivcr, at Hartford and at Saybrock ; and in 1638, on the
2oth of April, that being the Lord's Day, there was heard
upon this spot the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
lt Prepare ye the Tray of the Lord ; T * and under the open
sky, bright with the promise of a new era of light and
liberty, a Christian congregation, led by a devoted,
learned, and eloquent minister of Christ, raised their
hearts to God ia prayer, and mingled their voices in
praise.
How easily may the imagination, acquainted with these
localities and with the characters and circumstances of the
men who were present on that occasion, run back over
two centuries that are past, and bring up the picture of
that first Sabbath ! Look out upon the smooth harbor of
Quinnipiack. It lies embosomed in a wilderness. Two or
three email vessels lie anchored in the distance. Here,
| along the margin of a creek, are a few tents, and some
Uva or three rude hut*, with the boxes and luggage that
.were landed yesterday piled up around them; and here
and there a little column, of smoke, going up in the stilt
morning air, shows that the inmates are in motion. Yet
! all is quieL Though the sun is up, there is no appearance
\ t of lab r or business ; for it is the Sabbath. By and by,
h the stillness is broken by the beating of a drum ; and
n from the tents and from the vessel* a congregation comes
l * gathering around a spreading oak. The aged and the
s honored are seated near the minister; the younger, and
i those of an inferior condition, find their places farther
back ; for the defence of all, there are men in armor, each
*ith his heavy, unwieldy gun, and one and another with a
smoking matehdock. What a congregation is this, to be
lathered in the wilds of New England J Here are men
women who have been accustomed to the luxuries of
murmur* of the wootU and of the waves- They look to God,
whose mercy and faithfulness have brought them to their
land of promise ; and, for the first time since the crea-
tion, the echoes of these hills and waters are awakened
by the voice of praise* The word of God is opened j and
then faith and hope arc strengthened for the conflicts be-
fore them, by contemplating the conflict and the victory of
Him who, to. alt things the example of his people, was
oncE^ like them, 'Med forth by the Spirit into the wilder-
ness to be tempted of the DeviL"*

A monument is an expression to future generations of
the love and reverence which the existing race of men
cherish for the excellent characters and acts of those who
have lived before them. We should strive to express our
desire that their memories may live in the costliness and
grandeur of the monuments we raise to them. On this
account, let no reasonable expense be spared in rearing a
memorial of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, —Rev*Dr< Blagdcn*
a No Sew Englandor who is willing to indulge his na-
tive feelings can stand upon the rock where our ances-
tors set the first foot After their arrival on the American
shorOj without experiencing emotions very diifcrent
from those which are excited by auv common object of
the same nature. No New Englander could be willing
to have that rock buried and forgotten. Let him reason
as much, as coldly and ingeniously as he please*, he will
still regard that spot with emotions wholly different
from those excited by other places of equal or greater
importance."

THE SPIRIT AND POLICY OF THE PLYMOUTH
COLONY.
A prominent statesman has recently and fitly remarked
that the cause in which he and hllfassociates are enlisted
will be successful " when it can dispel the fears of the
timid, conquer the prejudices of the ignorant, and convince
the reason of the intelligent."
To accomplish the last of these is not usually a difficult
task ; and in regard to the Pilgrim Monument enterprise,
we believe it has already been done. The others still pre-
sent serious obstacles, which, however, time and informa-
tion are gradually overcoming, rendering it more and more
evident that the accomplishment of the desired work is
only a question of time.
On a preceding page may be found an article on the
Pilgrims of the May-Flower, in commemoration of whose
landino, and in honor of whose principles, as pro-
mulgated in their Social Compact, the Pilgrim So-
ciety is erecting a National Monument. In that article is
the statement that "nearly all of those self-sacrificing
men and women had gone from the scene of their priva-
tions and sufferings before that period of persecution on
which some persons persist in fixing their minds "*
It will tend to " conquer the prejudices " of such persons,
and be but simple justice to the Pilgrims, if they will ac-
quaint themselves with the facts in relation to the spirit
and policy of the Plymouth colony and its distinction from
the Massachusetts and other New England colonies.
Many persons seem not to be aware of any such distinc-
tion, and indiscriminately charge upon the Pilgrims the
faults of another colony and not unfrequently of another
and a later age. Such a distinction, however, did exist in
territorial limits, mode of government, and in the spirit
and policy pursued towards those differing from their
religious views. " The Pilgrims of Plymouth were more
liberal in feeling and more tolerant in practice than the
Puritans of Massachusetts Bay." ..." As they were dis-
tinct from the Puritans in England, and had long been sep-
arated from them in Holland, so did they preserve that
distinction in some measure in America." f
This distinction is clearly shown in a lecture entitled,
"The Pilgrim Fathers neither Puritans nor persecutors,"
— delivered at the Friends* Institute, London, by Benja-
min Scott, F. R. A. S., Chamberlain of the city of London,
January 18, 1866.
The proposition maintained is that " The Pilgrim Fathers
of the Plymouth Colony — the first successful Anglo-Saxon
colonists of America, and the real founders of New Eng-
land — were not Puritans, but Separatists (who were
the first advocates of the perfect freedom of conscience at
the Reformation), and they did not persecute for con-
science' sake, either Roger Williams, the Friends, or any
other person."
It was the Puritan colony that settled at Salem and Bos-
ton, 1629-30, known as the Mass. colony, that passed the
severe acts against the Friends and others. Those acts the
Pilgrims and their descendants have always opposed.
The Plymouth and Massachusetts colonies were as dis-
* Some think they find In the faults of the descendants of the Pilgrims
a sufficient reason for refusing to aid the Pilgrim Society in their noble
work. They seem to overlook or misapprehend the object in view—
what is to be commemorated and whose or what principles it is proposed
to honor. For whatever wrones their descendants may have committed,
the Pilgrims should not be held chargeable,— certainly not those who
died within the first year after their Landing. Let them, at least, be
honored, even for " having undertaken, for the glory of God, and ad-
vancement of the Christian faith, a voyage to plant the first colony," Ao.

tinct from each other as they both were from the Connee-
ticut and New Haven colonies, until 1643. when these four
colonies formed a confederacy for their mutual protection.
Eight commissioners, two from each colony, met at Bos-
ton, May, 1643, where they drew up the Articles of Con-
federation, which was undoubtedly the germ of our Fed-
eral Union. The style adopted was that of the United
Colonies of New England. Their little Congress, the first ,
of the New World, was to be composed of eight members,
two from each colony. They were to assemble anuually,
in the different colonies by rotation, to consult together
on all matters of mutual defense and protection ; yet they
were not empowered to legislate in such a manner as to
abridge the independent action of the separate colonial
assemblies. These were to be as distinct and independent
of each other as are our State legislatures of the present
day. Plymouth was not responsible, — nor, by well in-t
formed persons, is it held chargeable, — for any severities
of law or execution in Massachusetts.
The two colonies continued distinct from each other
until 1692; and any person who confounds the two and
condemns the Pilgrims for acts committed by the people of
the Massachusetts colony, betrays his ignorance of the
early history of his country, besides doing great injustice
to the Pilgrims.
" As the Pilgrims were more free in their political con-
stitution than the Puritans, so they were more liberal
towards those who differed from them in points of religious
doctrine."* This is evinced, especially, by the records
obtained from different sources respecting the treatment
of the Rev. Roger Williams. In the Massachusetts Colony
the rights of citizenship were made dependent upon reli-
gious tests, church-membership being a prerequisite to the
rights of suffrage.
Roger Williams, then pastor of a church in Salem, -was
among the first and foremost to resist the attempt of the
civil authorities thus to interfere with the rights of con-
science. As the result of the controversy growing out of
this question, he was banished from Salem, and " sought
refuge beyond the jurisdiction of Massachusetts in the
more liberal colony of the Pilgrims.*' f "At Plymouth
he was well accepted as an assistant in the ministry to
Rev. Ralph Smith, then pastor of the church there." J
" The principal men of the colony treated him with
marked attention.** . . . "The generous spirit of the
Pilgrims preserved him in a great measure from the- an-
noyance which had caused his removal from Salem, and
protected him from the offensive interference of the civil
authorities.** *
When driven a second time from Salem and the Massa-
chusetts Colony, he commenced a settlement on the east-
ern bank of the Seekonk River, just within the limits of
the Plymouth Colony ; Gov Winslow, who was his per-
sonal friend, simply advised that, as they "were loath to
displease the Bay, he should remove to the other aide ox
the river.** This advice he cheerfully followed, and,
adopting the views of the Baptists, became at once the
founder of Rhode Island and of the first Baptist church
in America. §
No evidence appears that during the witchcraft delu-
sion any instance of it occurred within the bounds of the
Plymouth Colony.

S It may be remarked that the persecution of Roger Williams mt8t-

ROGER WILLIAMS,
HY TTON-. S. tt. A71NOLD.
In February, 1631, the ship N Lyon w arrived at Nnntas.
ket with twenty passengers and a large store of provisions.
Her arrival was most timely, fur the colonists were rodueed
to the last exigencies of famine. Many had already died
of want, and many more were rescued from imminent
peril by this providential occurrence. A public fast had
been appointed for the day succeeding that on which the
■hip reached Boston. It was changed to a general
thanksgiving. There was another incident connected
with the arrival of this ship which made it an era, not
only in the aiTatrs of Massachusetts , hut in the history of
America. She brought to the shores of New England the
founder of a new State ; the exponent of a new philoso-
phy i the intellect that was to harmonize religions differ-
ences, and sooth the sectarian asperities of the New
World ; a man whose clearness of mind enabled him to
deduce from the mass of crude speculations which abounded
in the seventeenth century a. proposition so comprehensive,
that it is difficult to say whether its application has produced
the moat beneficial influence upon religion » morals, or
politics. This man was Roger Williams, then about
thirty-two years of age. He was a scholar, well versed
tn> the ancient and some of the rmodcrn tongues, ai
earnest inquirer after truth, and an ardent friend of popu<
hat liberty a* well for the mind as for the body. As " i
godly minister," he was welcomed to the society of the
Puritans, and soon invited by the church in Salem as on
assistant to their pastor, Samuel Skclton* The invitation
was accepted ; but the term of his ministry was destined
in be brief. His fearlessness in denouncing the errors of
the times, and especially the doctrine of the magistrates'
pGwer in religion, gave rise to a system of persecution,
which, before the close of the summer, obliged him to
seek refuge beyond the jurisdiction of Massachusetts in
the more liberal colony of the Pilgrims* He remained
at Plymouth two years ; but his attachment seems never to
have been withdrawn from the people of Salem, who recip-
rocated the warmth of his regard, and invited his return.
Here he again assisted Mr. Skelton, whose health was
rapidly failing, and upon whose death he was ordained
pastor by the church, though tiie Court interfered to pre-
vent it. This interference ripened at length into a
"decree" of banishment from Salem, and beyond the
jurisdiction of thy Massachusetts Colony.
Driven from the society of civilized men, and debarred
the consolation of Cliristian sympathy, Williams turned
his steps southward, to find among heathen savages the
boon of charity which was refused at home. The now
venerable Ousamequin, who sixteen years before had first
welcomed the weary Pilgrims to his shores, and with
whom Williams, during his residence at Plymouth, had
contracted a friendship, received with open arms the
lonely and twice-oiiled Pilgrim. From him Williams ob-
tained a grant of land near what is now called Cove Mills,
on the eastern bank of Gcekonk River, where he built a
house and commenced planting, with a view of permanent
residence* But this was not to be his home. In the
quaint scriptural language of the day, " he hod tarried on
this side Jordan, while the promised land lay still beyond."
lie was soon advised by his friend, Gov, Winslo\v, that, as
his plantation was within the limits of Plymouth Colony,
who " were loath to displease the Bay, he should remove
to the other side of the water." This he resolved to do ;
and, in company with five others, who appear to have fol-
lowed him from Salem, he embarked in his canoe, to
find at length a resting-place on the free hills of Provi-
dence, Tradition has preserved the shout of welcome,
" What cheer, netop ?*' which greeted his landing at *■ Slate
Hock j " poetry has embalmed it in enduring verse ; good
taste affixed the name "What cheer" to the adjacent
farm ; and even th>? spirit of enterprise and the growth of
population, which have thrown these broad hinds into the
market of a proud and prosperous city, have respected the
consecrated spot, and reserved *■ What Cheer Square/'
with its primeval rock, for ever to mark the place where
the weary feet of Koger Williams first pressed the soil of
Providence, — bo named in gratitude to his Supreme De-
liverer.

GEORGE WATSON.
George Watson, one of the most prominent of the
early inhabitants of Plymouth, came to Kew England
about the year 1632, He was a resident of the town of
Plymouth in 1633, and a freoman of the colony in IG34.
In 16J5 ho became a householder, having purchased the
dwelling-house of Deacon Richard Ma&tcrsou, and mar-
ried Phebe, daughter of Robert Hicks, who was b passcn-
per in the ll Fortune* in the fall of lG'2l. with Mr. Robert
Cushman, the noted a^ent of the colonists, Phebe, with
her mother and the other members of the family , came in
the ,l Ann," during the summer of 1G23.
Mr. Watson (who, there Is reason to believe! was the
second son of Robert and Elizabeth, and brother of
Robert, who married Mary Rack well, and of Thomas,
who had a wife named Sarah, subsequently the wife of
Samuel Dunham) very early rose to curjsidcrjiMc conse-
quence in the little community a^ Plymouth, respectably
performing the duties of many offices, and, like a prudent
and persevering man, largely increasing the number of
hia broad acres, and rearing up a family of children,
who in their turn have each been the parent stock of a
large number of the most respectable and public-spirited
men in the Old Culony,
Mr. Watson died, according to the old style of reckon-
ing time, on the thirty-first of January, 1638-9, having
entered upon the 87th year of his age; so that, by com-
putation, it would appear that he was born early in the
year 1602, which would have made his age about 21 when he
came in the " Fortune," in November, 1021, His children
were, Phebe, who married Deacon Jonathan Shaw, Jan-
nary 22, IOjO-7, o, s. ; Mary, who married Thomas Leon-
ard of Taunton, August 21, 1GG2, o. b. ; John, who died
young; Samuel and Elizabeth, twins, born January 18,
1G17-8, o, s., of whom Samuel died August 20, 1G19, o. a.,
and Elizabeth married Joseph 'Williams, of Taunton , No-
vember £8, 1GG7, o. b, i Jonathan, born March 0, luol-2,
o. a,, and died in infancy; and Elkanah, bom February
26, 1655-43, o. 8., married Mercy Hedge in 1G7G, and w^s

RIDINO TO CHURCH.
Even up to the period of the Revolution, vehicles of
every sort were extremely rare. A writer in the "Old
Colony Memorial," some year* back, recollects when the
first chaise passed through the town of Plymouth, and
says u it made a greater wonderment than the appearance
of a mammoth. People were puzzled far a name, &nd at
last they called it a calash," This must have been from
the resemblance of its top to the head-covering of the
same mime represented in the cut of female costumes,
The most common conveyance wns by horses, fitted with
saddles and pillions. Two could in this way ride on the
same animal, and oftentimes a child was addtd to the
burthen. Thus the minister, or the farmer '* well-to^do;"
rode with wife or daughter to church, But a very small
proportion of the population could afford even this luxu-
ry. Most of them walked, Even young women were
accustomed to walk from five to eight miles ; and instance*
are recorded, in which, for years in succession, mothers
walked from ten to twelve miles, and can ied their infants
in their arms. In front of the churches where the
people were much in the habit of riding was a small
platform, approached by a couple of steps, for the dames
to mount from ; this was called a horse-block, and is still
to be seen in some retired places. The men in the earlier
times went to church, and about their ordinary ficld-bibors,
armeo", for fear of the savages. In the first isettlemenlB,
they assembled at the house of prayer, summoned by the
beat of the drum, for as yet bells were not to be obtained ;
and scutum's were placed at convenient post 1 , to give the
alarm if any foe should approach. The roads, in most
cases, were mere bridle-paths through the forest ; the
Btre.Jns were crossed at fording-places, there being no
bridges; and the whole appearance of the country was
that of a wilderness juat commencing to bo the abode of
j civilised men.

FIRST SETTLEMENT OF VIRGINIA.
"Virginia owes her first permanent settlement to the
courage, cnergyj sagacity* and untiring perseverance of a
•ingle axon. Cape John Smith.
The assigns of Sir Walter Raleigh (who was now im-
prisoned in the tower) had never relinquished the idea of
planting a colony in Virginia ; and by degrees various men
of rank, wealth, mid Influence had arrrived at the conclu-
sion that it was possible to found a prosperous state in the
temperate regions of America. King James, vain-glorious
rather than ambitious, favored the design of enlarging his
dominions, and readily granted a charter, with power "to
deduce a colony into Virginia," but reserving to the mon-
arch absolute legislative authority, and the control of all
appointments.
Under this charter, in December, 1606, more than n cen-
tury after the discovery of the continent by Cabot t and forty-
one years after the settlement of Florida, the little squad-
ron of three vessels, the largest not exceeding one hundred
tons burthen, bearing one hundred and five men destined
to remain, set sail for Virginia.
Newport, the commander of the fleet, sailed by way of
the Canaries and West India Islands ; and it was not till
the middle of May, that, after passing the magnificent bay
of the Chesapeake, they arrived in the James River, and
•elected as a site for the colony the peninsula of James-
town, about fifty miles from its mouth.
Smith, now not thirty years old, was one of the most
prominent of the adventurers* On the voyage his genius
had created jealousies and raised up enemies against him ;
and one of the first acts of the council, upon being consti-
tuted, was to exclude him from their body on a charge of
sedition, but by the exhortation of llunt, the clergyman,
he was soon restored to his station.
"While the men were employed in felling timber for the
fort and houses, Newport, Smith, and twenty others
ascended the James River to the falls, and visited the
great chief, FowhatUn, at his principal seat, a village of
twelve wigwams, just below the present site of Richmond,
About the middle of June, Newport sailed for England.
On the departure of the shins, the colonists sank at once
into a state of the most pitiable depression. In a wilder-
ness, surrounded by savages, cut oif from ah commutation
with civilised man, unused to labor, their provisions scanty
' and spoiled by the long voyage, weakened by the heat of
| the summer, — they drooped and died, till in August only
one-half of the original number survived- To complete the
miseries of the remainder, Wingficld, the president of the
council, had seized upon the choicest stores, and was on the
point of abandoning the colony and escaping to the West
Indies. He was at once deposed, and Katcliff, a man pos-
sessing neither talent nor energy, appointed in his place.
The administration of the affairs of the colony, through the
weakness of the president, now fell upnn Smith ; and
the buoyancy of his spirits, the vigor of his will, and the
cheerfulness of his courage, well qualified turn for the
duties.
He inspired the natives with awe by his intrepidity;
quelled the spirit of anarchy among the emigrants by de-
feating the conspiracies of Wingficld and Rntcliffe to
desert the settlement; and by his constant activity man-
aged to keep the colonists employed and the colony to-
gether, till the approach of winter, with abundance of wild
fowl and game, removed all fears of famine, and gave him
an opportunity to examine the country*
Leaving the colonists to enjoy the abundance which
winter had brought, Smith ascended the Chiekahominy as
far as the boats would advance, and then struck into the
interior. Ilia companions having disobeyed his directions,
the party were surprised by the Indians, and all but Smith
were killed. He maungcd to save his own life by his im-
movable self-possession, and the address with which he
used bis superior knowledge to captivate the savages.
Displaying a pocket-compass, he amused them by showing
the peculiar powers of the needle, and being permitted to
send a Letter to Jamestown he completed their wonder by
apparently endowing the paper with intelligence* The cu-
riosity of all the neighboring tribes was aroused, he was
carried in triumph from village to village, and the decision
of his fate was finally referred to Fowhattun. The chief-
tarn condemned him to die ; and every preparation was
(26)
made for his death, when he was saved by Pocahontas, the
favorite child of Powhattan, who rushed forward when his
head was on tan block, clung firmly to his neck, and by
her fearlessness and entreaties persuaded the council to
spare his life. They now attempted to induce him to join
their band s in an attack upon Jamestown ; but lie succeeded
in changing the current of their thoughts, and they finally
disun Lss ed hini with promises cf good-will and assistance.
Returning to Jamestown, Smith found the colony re-
duced to forty men, of whom the strongest were just
prepariog to escape in the pinnace, Thl> desertion ho
suppressed at tin? hazard of his life*
In 10QS, ihc colony was increased by the arrival of one
hundred and twenty emigrants , — but chiefly vagabond gen*
tlemen and goldsmiths, who added but little to its stability
and prosperity, being devoted for the most port to discov-
ering gold and other metals.
Disgusted at fulllos which ho had vainly endeavored to
cheek, Smith undertook to explore Chesapeake Bay and Its
tributaries. Two voyages, made in au open boat, occupied
nearly three mouths in summer, and embraced on extent
of nearly three thousand miles. He surveyed the Chesa-
peake Bay to the Bugquohnnnah, discovered and explored
the Patapsco T entered the harbor of Baltimore, and ascend-
ed the Potomac to the falls. Nor did he merely explore
the territory, but established friendly relations with the
natives, and laid the foundation (or future intercourse.
Three days after his return, he was made president of
the council. Order and industry began to be diffused,
when Newport arrived with seventy new emigrants! two of
whom were females.
In !fl09, Lord Delaware** expedition, commanded by
Newport, Sir Thomas Gates, and Sir George Somers, with
a new charter for the colony, arrived on the coast. Here
a hurricane separated the admiral from his fleet m t and his
vessel was stranded on the rocks of the Bermudas. Seven
ships, out of the fleet of nine, arrived at Jamestown* A
new disaster now threatened the colony. The old charter
was abrogated, and the wrecked vessel contained all who
possessed any authority under the new one* Smith, how-
ever, resolutely maintained his discipline, until an acci-
dental explosion of gunpowder disabled him so that he
was compelled to return to England for surgical treatment.
At his departure, he left in the colony four honored and
ninety persons. In sis months, indolence, famine, vice,
and consequent diseases, reduced the number to sixty;
and, had it not been for the timely arrival of Gates Bind
his party from the Bermudas, they also must have utterly
perished. They insulted at once upon abandoning the
settlement, and would even have destroyed it, but for the
energy of Gates, who was the la*t to leave.
They fell down the stream, and the next rooming, tt
the mouth of the river, met the long-boat of Lord Dela-
ware, who had arrived on the coast with emigrants and
supplies* The fugitives bore up the helm, and that night
wore once more at the fort in Jamestown.
THE SHALLOP OF THE MAY-FLOWER.
The cut, copied from a picture by Vandervoldt, a Dutch
painter of the J 7th century, represents a shallop, a small
boat with one mast, such as that in whieh the brave com-
pany of explorers from the May-Flower (then at anchor in
Cape Cod liarbor) embarked for the purpose of discovering
a proper place for tlieir settlement
It was this eompanyj in all eighteen men, who on Fri-
day evening were cast, as it were, upon Clark's Island,
where they remained to pass the Satibath, and, embarking
again on Monday, stepped ashore upon a huge boulder of
granite (the Roek of Plymouth,) making that celebrated
Landing " which was destined to be the birth of a nation.
THE STAR-CHAMBER
The Star-Chamber Htood on the eastern side of New
Palace Yard, and was originally a portion of the Royal
Palace. It obtained its name from the ceiling having been
ornamented with stars, and gave it in turn to the infamous
Court of the Star-Chamber, so noted during the reigna of
the Stuarts. From hence issued all the extortionate loam
and levies which ended in the great civil war T So frightful
did it become that its name infused terror; and to be
11 Star-Chambered " was applied as a term indicative of ths
severest and crudest infliction of semi-legal, or illegal,
tyranny. In this court men were summoned by eitra-judj-
cial might, fined mercilessly and extravagantly, branded at
felons, their noses slit and ears cut off, for acts and words
applied to those in authority, less strong than many in use
daily by even the English press of the present day. This
court was abolished in 1641. The building in use at that
time for its meetings was erected in the reign of Queen
Elisabeth, The cut represents the Star-Chamber itself
and is from a sketch made just previous to its demolition,
In 1836, to make room for the present Houses of Parlia-

council, called the " Court of High Commission,"' held lti
(26)
CAPTURE OF ANNAWAN,
the bravest of the warriors of Metacomct, the
famous sachem of the Wampanoags (more generally
known to readers of American history as King Philip of
Folcanokct, and as the second son of the noble-hearted
Massasnit, the early and constant friend of the Plymouth
Fathers), was Annawan, who, in the more prosperous days
of his tribe 1 had been known in the colony as a noted
captain under both of these chieftains. This determined
and subtle man, immediately aftrt the death of King
Philip, in August, 1676, collected together the scattered
warriors of the once-powerful tribe, and, roaming through
the forests that skirted the southern boundary of the
colony, struck terror into the hearts of the inhabitants of
that then sparsely settled region. In this position of
things, Captain Benjamin Church, who had so recently
distinguished himself in the Into Narraganset war, was en-
treated to take up arms for the assistance snd protection
of the terrified people* Being of a generous disposition,
and public ppirited, this ohivnlrous chieftain once more sal-
lied forth in pursuit of the savage foe T and having succeeded
after much perseverance, in capturing several of Anna-
vran's men, he promised to spare the life of one of them,
on condition of being; guided to the secret retreat of this
brave leader. The Indian readily assented to this demand,
and proceeded to the hiding-place of his unsuspecting chief.
Annawan, in order to elude the search of hi* enemy,
had taken refuse in his stronghold in Rcholioth, a cave
formed by roeks of enormous size, and situated in the
centre of an immense swamp. "Annawan's Rock"— * a
name by which the retreat- is still known — presented on
one of its sides a perpendicular precipice of nearly thirty
feet in height* On another side, however, the place was
more easily accessible, and here Captain Church with two
of his men ascended to the summit of the rocky barrier,
where he beheld the object of his search together with his
comrades, from fifty to sixty in number, most of them
with their guns leaning upon a stick. The Itidinns were
laying together in three groups around a fire, over which
their supper was cooking* Notwithstanding the fearful
sight, and the extreme danger of the attempt, the brave
Church was determined to secure the marauder, and thus
put an end to the troublesome inroads of the ferocious
savages, Favored in his intention by the noise of mor-
tars, in which the Indians were pounding their corn, he
sent forward his prisoner, who was well acquainted with
the secret passes of the place, with his basket upon his
shoulder, and closely followed him with his soldiers, the
whole company marching with the noise, and keeping
quiet when there was no pounding. Having arrived at
the proper place, Church suddenly leaped from the rock,
tomahawk in hand, among his enemies, much to their
terror and astonishment, Annawan, the old warrior, per-
ceiving his position, exclaimed, " Howohl** (I am taken,)
and, with his comrades, was immediately bound by
Church and his small party , consisHng of only one white
man and si* friendly Indians. Annawan was taken to
Plymouth, where, notwithstanding the entreaties of the
gallant Church, he was publicly put to death.

LAYING OF THE CORNER-STONE OF THE NA*
TIONAL MONUMENT TO THE FOREFATHERS.
We are happy in being able to announce to the public
that the corner-stone of the National Monument to the
Forefathers has been laid. This event took place at Ply-
mouth on the 2d of August, 1859, the celebration being
intended to commemorate the two hundred and thirty-
ninth anniversary of the embarkation of the Pilgrims a%
X)elft-Haven. In order to have been strictly correct in
point of date, the ceremony should have been performed
on the 1st of August ; but as that day fell this year on
Monday, a very inconvenient day for persons residing at a
distance from Plymouth to be present, it was deferred foy
one day.
A lar$e concourse of people, estimated at ten thousand,
in addition to the inhabitants of the town, assembled from
every portion of the country to witness the ceremonies,
and take p«*irt in them. At first an address was delivered
by the President of the Pilgrim Society, Richard Warren,
Esq., of New York, — of which the following is substan-
tially the eloquent conclusion : —
n We are now about to lay the corner-stone of a struc*
ture, grander than any of the kind the world has ever wit-
nessed, and which is intended to mark the events of the
landing of 1620, in the Nation's History, — that decisive
event, which, in reality, began this our great and happy
country. Let it rise speedily, — that, as from distant ocean
the toil-worn mariner approaching home shall look hither,
and view it reaching toward the clouds, he may also see
inscribed on it a motive for action — an aid to every worthy
purpose.
"Many have found fault with the magnitude of the under*
taking. Some have derided it, and pronounced it unsuit-
able for the events it is designed to commemorate. Others
would have it erected in a city. No ! Here where we
stand is the spot for it. From hence, cast your eyes across
yonder waters. In a clear day, Cape Cod is visible. There,
at Provincetown, the Pilgrims first cast anchor, — and
within the arms of that Cape they found shelter. There
is Clark's Island, named for the mate of the May-
Flower. There the Pilgrims worshipped on their first
Sabbath, in a temple not made with hands , —
The waves around were roaring,
The chilly winds were blowing.
Perhaps an Indian was watching without, as if compre-
hending that they, too, were speaking to the Great Spirit,
whom he himself ignorantly worshipped. After this holy
service thty returned to their small vessel, their only
refuse for the night. In peace they rested, watched over
by their God. In front of that island the May-Flower
anchored. On the left you see Duxbury, the home of El-
der Brewster, and Captain's Hill, the residence of Myles
Standish. On our right rises the burial hill, — beneath
whose sods rest Bradford and the son of Robert Ci'sii-
man. Monuments have been erected there to their names
by grateful descendants. Beyond lies Watson's Hill, on
which the first treaty was made between the white man
and the Indian !
" Nearly in front of where we stand is Marshfield, the
home of the Winslows, and in later days of Daniel
Wehstbr. And not far off, on our left, is Jones' river,
in Kingston, where Elder Cushmax lived. As these,
places meet our view, how does the past come back to us.
As we stand on Monument Hill let that past nerve us all
with new strength for our life work.
4t The monument can be built if the People say it shall
be. Whenever they have fully determined to do anything it
has been done, — say it in regard to this, Sons of the Pil-
grims, Daughters of the Pilgrims ! Say it with faith that it
k can be, and bring your energies to bear upon it, and all
*4oubt will be removed. The cost, large as it appears, is
nothing in reality, to the capability of those who are asked
to do it.
" Six years ago, a noble merchant of New York, princely
in Work and in gift, wrote that he would * be one of fifty
to Subscribe #1,000 for a monument.' Not all of the
forty-nine others have come, but some have done so.
Wher e are the others to respond ? Would that I had the I
ability as I have the desire, to be not merely one such man, I
but all combined. The merchant paid his money, not
waiting f or others. Such large amounts are not, however,
needed. A small pittance from each of the favored children
of our country will complete it in a few years. Is there
such a child anywhere who will not contribute to
these commemorative stones ? I am not willing to c
tain such a thought. Think of the Fathers but far
moment, any hesitating one, and you cannot help aiding
in the work. Never doubt the accomplishment of what
we to-day begin, any more than the Fathers doubted of
final success. Let every one give and the work is done.
It cannot be done without your aid. No miracle wiU be
worked to finish this structure. It is for you, who have
reverence enough for the Fathers, to be willing to show that
reverence by acts. Some say the best monument to the
Pilgrims is the hearts of their children. Such a monument
is apt to crumble. There needs something to look upon
— some of the granite of the earth moulded into beau-
tiful symmetry to impress on those hearts the story of
the past — the heroisiu of former times.
" No victory has ever been so pregnant in its conse-
quences ; no event in human story, save that which oc-
curred at Bethlehem, has produced so vast a revolution in
the destinies of the human race, as the emigration of the
Pilgrims of the May-Flower. It is worthy then of a
nation's self-denial, were it necessary, to erect a memorial
of gratitude, which shall embody in its design the leading
characteristics of the Pilgrim mind."
Mr. Warren ended by presenting to the audience hit
Excellency N. P. Banks, Governor of the Commonwealth,
from whose powerful and impressive address the limits of
this work only permit the following quotation, as pe-
culiarly adapted to the present purpose: —
" Wnat a harvest reap we in our day from the seeds of
Christian civilization sown by the Pilgrims in darkness
anddanger, but also in hope and in faith ! Appreciate we
the lull flood of almost Divine favors which daily refresh
our million of souls ? Measure we the prosperity that lifts
us above our deserts as above other States ? Confess we
to the full capacity of acknowledgment by whose wisdom,
whose valor, whose great faith we have reached these Pis-
gah heights ? Or believe we that our genius, our industry,
our enterprise, has created that which surrounds us,—
that States, more than continents or empires, have other
origin than the slow growth of centuries ?
I " No fairer scene than that which meets our -view attests
the triumphs of any pioneers in the work of civilization.
In whatever direction we move, towns and cities rise to
meet us. The Connecticut, the Merrimac, and the rivers
that skirt the southern coast of the Commonwealth, boast
as proud monuments of industrial success as the enterprise
of man has ever created. The valley of the Charles, in
which sleep thirty or forty villages, towns and cities,
crowned on the one hand by the metropolis of New Eng-
land, and on the other by the highlands of the interior,
presents, from every commanding eminence, a scene unit-
ing as many of the beauties of Art and Nature combined
as any upon which the eye of man ever rested. These are
monuments of the prowess of the settlers of New England,
and the prosperity and happiness of their descendants.
Not unto us, but unto them be the honors paid. No mon-
umental shaft, no tongue of poetry or eloquence can offer
to them a more appropriate or elaborate eulogy than that
Spoken for them in their works.
" Nevertheless, it is for us a pleasure and a duty to con-
nect the events of the Present and the Past by some mark-
ed and visible sign, to make apparent to careless and in-
different beholders the relation which the inestimable
privileges of our time bear to the heroism and devotion of
the Forefathers. Never did monument rise to commemo-
rate nobler deeds or greater heroism than theirs. No for-
tress, citadel, or temple — no pyramid, arsenal, or obelisk
— no triumphal arch or marble statue bears testimony to
holier virtues that yet live in Greek or Roman fame than
the innumerable and imperishable evidences of great pur-
poses and powers which make illustrious the fame of the
New England fathers. The monument, then, that we
plant to-day is for us as for them. It is for our instruction
— to remind our children, and our children's children, so
long as the seed of woman shall bruise the serpent's head,
that our life is their life — that out of their trials and sor-
row we pluck prosperity and happiness — from their op-
pression springs our freedom. It is for this we plant, here
and now, m the very heart of the earth, the headstone of
the corner. It is for this we bid the monumental pile
(28)
rise to Heaven. It is for this we are assembled by thou-
sands to cheer on the work and to implore the blessings of
heaven upon its progress and its completion. Let it rise
to commemorate the virtues of the fathers, the gratitude
of the children. Let it rise to connect the trivial events of
hie, the evening's pleasures and the morning's duty, the
labor of the week and the rest of the Sabbath, — the joys
of life, the sorrows of death, with the never-ceasing memo-
net of the Pilgrims ; to light the eye of infancy as it opens
upon the world, and cheer the transit of age to a better and
tbrighter existence. Let it be said forever and forever
that it marks alike the acquisition and the maintenance of
the freedom of our land.
u It was a harsh and forbidding horoscope that the Fates
apparently cast for the Pilgrim Fathers. An inner, not
an outer, light cheered their path. They saw a hand we
cannot see ; they heard a voice we cannot hear. It spake
to them of us and of the future — of Time and of Eternity."
The address of Gov. Banks was followed by prayer
by Rev. Richard S. Storrs, D. D., and then by the Ma-
sonic ceremonies of laying the corner-stone and conse-
cration by the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient
Free and Accepted Masons of Massachusetts, — including
a most pertinent and eloquent address by the Grand
Master, Col. John T. Heard. In the under side of the
corner-stone is a cavity, in which a leaden casket, eleven
inches by seven and five inches in height, was placed by
Dr. Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, of Boston, at the request of the
Building Committee. Upon its cover were the following
words:^
Placed

of the
National Monument to the Forefathers,
by
The Pilgrim Society of Plymouth,
2d August, 1859.
Within the box were deposited, before the sealing of the
cover, the following articles of interest, viz. : —

Address op G. M. John T. Heard.
Mr. President: — To celebrate the deeds of the bene-
factors of mankind, is a service dictated alike by grati-
tude and the benevolent desire to transmit the blessings
of their examples to posterity. The memory of the good
and brave, whose virtues and exploits challenge admira-
tion and homage, should be honored and perpetuated;
and the establishment of institutions affecting happily
the welfare of our race is eminently worthy of commem-
oration. A people capable of greatness will not forget
the virtues of their fathers; reverently will they chensh
them, and gratefully present them in all their lustre for
the respect and imitation of after ages. Impressed with
sentiments like these, we are assembled here to-day to
solemnize an undertaking designed to perpetuate the re-
nown of that peerless band— the first settlers of Dew
W
England. It was here on this spot, then the border of a
wilderness nearly as vast as the continent, where they
landed on the Sfst of Dec. 1620. Here, therefore, it is
appropriate that a National Monument to their memory
should 1 be erected; a work which, we are happy to see,
has been commenced under the most flattering prospects
of success. To the Pilgrim Society belongs the honor of
initiating this grateful and patriotic enterprise; and un-
der its auspices it will be, we doubt not, triumphantly
accomplished. In compliance with your courteous in-
vitation to the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts to lay this
corner-stone, that body will now discharge that agree-
able duty according to the ancient usages of the Craft.
It is not known, sir, that any of the passengers of the
May Flower were Freemasons; certainly no record of
the fact has been discovered. But since it is authenti-
cated that our institution was in a flourishing condition
in England in 1620, it is not improbable that some mem-
bers of a society which, from the earliest times, has been
tolerant as regards modes of religious worship, should
have united with the members of the Church of the
Pilgrims and fled with them from the persecutions- in-
flicted on the Dissenters by the Established Church.
That there are no accounts extant of private or sub-
ordinate Lodges in the earlier days of the colonies, is
not to be taken as evidence that none existed in them.
In the constitution of the Lodge previous to the past
century, it was not necessary that its existence and pro-
ceedings should have official or durable record; it re-
ceived no warrant or charter from the General Assembly
— the Grand Lodge of that time ; nor were its meetings
confined to any particular time or place ; it is not to bo
wondered at, that under those circumstances, and after
a lapse of two centuries, all traces of it should be oblit-
erated. Thus it is apparent that a Lodge might have
existed even in the May Flower, and been composed of
Pilgrims, without the knowledge of their associates or
posterity. The principles of Freemasonry are in no way
incompatible with the professions of the Forefathers
in moral or religious belief, but, on the contrary, are
such as would have been approved and vindicated, by
them.
It will not be out of place for me to mention Aere a
coincidence derived from the history of our sociery and
that of the first settlers: — and I allude to the fact that
two of the Grand Masters of England were also members
of the " Council established at Plymouth " by the Great
Patent which passed the seals on the third of November,
1620, and became the foundation of all subsequent grants
of territory in New England. They were William, the
third Earl of Pembroke, and Thomas, Earl of Arundel;
the former was Chancellor of the University of Oxford
and Lord Chamberlain of the King's household, the lat-
ter Earl Marshal of the realm. Pembroke, who was
senior Grand Warden under the Grand Mastership of
Inigo Jones, his friend, and a celebrated architect, suc-
ceeded him as Grand Master in 1618, and continued to
preside over the Fraternity until the time of his death
in 1630. Arundel was elected to the office in 1633, and
filled it for a space of two years.
It is worthy of remembrance that though the Ply-
mouth Company possessed the privileges of a monopoly,
it having exclusive right by its patent to all the lands in
New England, the members of the Council were lenient
in their measures affecting the colonists. Towards the
Pilgrims, especially, they showed much liberality. The
latter, compelled by treachery to settle on this spot in-
stead of that farther south, which they had selected be-
fore their departure from Europe ? found themselves
without privileges within the territorial limits of the
Plymouth Company. The Council did not, however,
look upon them as trespassers; but, through the influ-
ence or one of its number, caused a patent to be issued
in their favor. This generous act of the government of
the company indicates that its counsels were controlled
by sentiments of humanity — by sentiments of broth-
erly-love, such as it might be supposed would influence
the action of those members of it, at least, who were
Masons.
On former occasions the Fraternity have been called
upon to consecrate, by their rites, statues and other me-
morials erected in honor of the distinguished dead. To
the illustrious Washington, to Franklin, Warren, Jack-
son, Clav — esteemed and venerated of our countrymen»
esteemed and venerated also as Freemasons — have last-
ing monuments been reared whose commencement and
completion have been thus signalized. But it is not to
eminent characters who were of us alone, that our cere-
monials of honor are confined; we recognize and respect
exalted worth in whomsoever it exists or has existed, and
are always ready as a society to manifest our appreciation
of it. Important events, like that we are now commem-
orating, which have promoted the progress and improve-
ment or general society, and conferred great benefits on
the intellectual, moral and religious well-being of man,
may be celebrated with greater propriety by Masons
with all the distinction which their ceremonies can be-
stow.
This occasion naturally carries our thoughts back to
the times of the forefathers, and suggests the recital of
their trials and sufferings, and triumphant struggle for
religious freedom; but this duty I leave for others to
perform. Though that instructive tale has been often
told with power and beauty by the historian, orator and
poet, until it has become familiar to all, still it is not a
work out-told; its recitation never falls upon listless
ears, or fails to move the sympathies and arouse the
patriotic feelings of an American audience.
The Pilgrim Monument will be one of the most im-
posing ana beautiful monumental works in the world.
The design, so creditable to the taste and genius of the
artist, prefigures a structure of vast, yet harmonious
proportions. While it will mark the place of the first
settlement of New England, it will, also, by inscriptions,
devices and sculpture, signalize the leading^ events in
the lives of the forefathers, and by appropriate figures
symbolize their cherished principles. May it endure for
ages, and decay only when our descendants shall cease
to appreciate their rich inheritance of civil and religious
liberty."
After the ceremonies of laying the corner-stone, the
procession formed again and marched to a spacious tent,
where dinner hod been provided for 2800 persons.
Among the invited guests were Governor Banks and
his stafc Governor Turner of Rhode Island, and CoL
Crandall of his staff, Governor Buckingham of Connec-
ticut, Governor Chase of Ohio, Hon. Edward Kent,
formerly Governor of Maine. Hon. John P. Hale of New
Hampshire, Hon. Henry Wilson, Hon. Anson Burlin-
game, Hon. T. D. Eliot of New Bedford, Hon. Robert B.
Hall of Plymouth, Hon. Oliver Warner, Secretary of the
Commonwealth, Hon. Stephen H. Phillips, Attorney-
General, Hon. Charles A. Phelps, Hon. Charles Hale, Rev.
Lyman Beecher, D. D., Rev. Samuel Osgood, D. D., of
Springfield, Rev. Richard S. Storrs, D. D.,of Braintree,
Hon. Francis P. Blair, Hon. William M. Evarts, Presi-

Danvers, Rev. John Waddington of Plymouth, England,
George Folsom, Esq. of the New York Historical Soci-
ety, George Sumner, Esq., Dr. N. B. Shurtleff, Hammatt
Billings, Esq., and others.
The Divine blessing was invoked by Rev. Edward
Hall of Plymouth, and the President invited the guests
to proceed at once with the " least interesting exercises
of the day," — which they did with much laughter as
well as energy.
It was hall-past four before the speaking could begin.
The first regular toast was " Our Country," foUowedfby
" The President," in response to which a letter from Mr.
Buchanan was read. Ihe next toast was " Massachu-
setts," to which Governor Banks responded with spirit.
Governor Chase answered for Ohio, Governor Buck-
ingham for Connecticut, Governor Turner for Rhode
Island, Hon. John P. Hale for New Hampshire, and
William M. Evarts, Esq., President of the New England
Society of New York, for that State.
Governor Kent answered for Maine; Hon. Charles
A. Phelps, President of the Senate, made an eloquent
speech; and other addresses were made by Rev. John
Waddington of England, Charles Hale, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and Hon. Moses Kimball.
A letter was read from Mr. Everett, stating his willing-
(301
I j ness to double his subscription to the monument, when-
™ever desired. A donation at the table from Mrs. Moses
Kimball of $100 was announced; also, $100 from Rev.
Dr. Burgess, and $100 from Hon. S. P. Chase, of Ohio.
Mr. Burlingame followed with an eloquent and pic-
turesque speech.
George Sumner, Esq., was the next speaker. He gave
some interesting historical information, gathered during
his latest visits to Leyden, respecting the residence of
the Pilgrims in Holland.
One more donation of $100 was here announced from
Isaac Bich, Esq., and several smaller sums of $10 and
$6 were contributed.
It was not until after half-past seven o'clock that the
company dispersed, greatly pleased with the day's en-
tertainment.
The following are some of the speeches : — %
Speech of Richard Warren, Esq., Presidejtt op
the Pilgrim Society.
"Ladies and Gentlemen: — We meet to-day under
most pleasant auspices. We have with suitable cere-
mony laid the corner-stones of two monuments in com-
memoration of the Pilgrim Fathers. On this spot only
should such be built — on these sands, over these hills,
the fathers and mothers and children of the May Flower
roamed and labored. Every hill-top and every valley is
filled with the fragrance of their first life in the New
World. And to this place forever shall the admirer of
Seatness in man, the lover of his country, the patriot,
e Christian, the lover of religious and republican lib-
erty, come, bringing their offerings in faith and gladness.
Here, and now, at this great gathering, let us pause and
call them — that noble band of the May Flower — call
their spirits to come forth from the blessed land to
speak to us their children. Glorified ones from yon
bright world, where now you roam; sainted ones, men
of heroic daring, women of unshaken love ; children of
true affection, come forth. Let us, your descendants,
look upon your countenances, as we now begin the struc-
tures which will commemorate you for all after time.
Come, thou spirit of the noble Carver ! Come, Elder
Brewster, who led the flock, as the shepherd of God!
Come, intrepid Bradford! and Winslow, come thou.
Come, noble Standish ! and come, sweet Rose, who long-
est hast been from earth! Come thou, John Alden!
Come all ! Come, father, mother, husband, wife, brother,
and sister! Come, all ye little ones! Come now, and
forever animate us with your great power of faith, with
your great purpose to do all lire's work well. Descend-
ants hover around you to-day, asking for your blessing
on their endeavor to raise here an evidence of their re-
membrance ! Gather with us, ye One Hundred of 1620.
who found a home and a place wherein to worship God !
Meet us now: put into each that inspiration which en-
abled you to work so mightily. Open anew the long cov-
ered graves, over which the sod has greened for centuries,
and, with your children, see the results of your decision,
your sufferings, your patience, and your faith. Methinks
the heavens are unrolling, as a parchment, and from the
abyss of the past fair forms approach. See them in
their glorified state, looking down on a world blessed by
their labor and their fidelity while they were in the body.
Hear their words to us this day, free of complaint; free
of blame for our long delay; but full of benignity, for
we are remembering them. Hear the song of praise,
even from them, in their pure abode, not for themselves,
but for us, as we show they are not forgotten. The
story of the pilgrimage of the fathers of 1620 has oft been
related. It should be familiar to every one. In times
Bist, a Webster, an Everett, a Choate, a Winthrop, a
illard, a Seward, an Evarts, and many more of the
best intellects of the land, have drawn back the curtain
which shut out the past. In words of pathos, words of
power, they have portrayed the wintry voyage of the
trail May Flower, as with a company of martyrs she
ploughed her way through the deep sea. They have
pictured the scenes of the winter of 1620, when the pil-
grims were on this bleak coast, with such truthfulness
that they who listened could almost in reality see them
landing on yonder rock, all shivering with the cold;
could see the small procession of sincere mourners, as
day after day they carried a loved one to be buried
from sight forever on Cole's Hill. I shall not further oc-
cupy the time of this day, when you are to listen to so
many much more worthy, only to say: — Men of New
England, let this be your firm resolve, made here and
now while the elonous sun is shining down on our
prosperity, that the work commenced shall be finished.
Aged men, who will soon pass on to meet the spirits of
the fathers, impress it onyour children to carry on this
work to completion. Women, mothers, daughters of
New England, all powerful as you are in what you un-
dertake to do, determine before Heaven that the monu-
ment to the Pilgrim Fathers shall ere long be built, and
the great end will be accomplished."
Speech of W. M. Evarts, Esq., President of the
N. E. Society of New York.
I have great pleasure, Mr. President, both personally
and as the representative of the New England Society
of the City of New York, in acknowledging your cour-
tesy in inviting their presence here at your solemn fes-
tivities. I regret extremely that more of the members
of that Society have not had the opportunity, or their
circumstances did not permit them to avail themselves
of your invitation. I have left them behind, but I feel
warranted, from the respect which they have always
shown to their ancestors, and the efforts which they have
made in their annual celebrations to keep alive their
memory, to preserve in that great centre and pulsing heart
of the country something ofthe pure current of the Puri-
tan character, — I say I feel warranted in saying to you.
in their name, that if the sum of one thousand dollars will
aid your Society in the erecting of the monument, you
have it pledged now from the New England Society of
New York. (Loud applause, followed by three cheers.)
And although I do this without express consultation,
when I go back, Mr. President, if they do not like it,
they may choose another President, and I will pay the
subscription. (Renewed applause.)
Our Pilgrim ancestors, Mr. President, were not very
good geographers; if they had been, they would prob-
ably not have landed here. (Laughter.) They had an
undefined notion about the mouth of the Hudson, and
for a long while held the opinion that New England
was an island, separated from this continent, as their
own loved England was from the main of Europe.
About all that, in 1621 — one year after their landing
here — they had added to their precise knowledge on
this subject, was to have ascertained, as one of them
writes, "that there was this large arm of the sea (Hud-
son's River) which entered at about the 40th degree of
latitude, and went out cither into the South Sea, or else
into the gulf of Canada." And, to show the earnest en-
terprise of these men, and the unquestioning confidence
with which they prefigured their future dommation over
the continent, he writes, in Dec. 1621, about this mys-
tical river: —
" The certainty whereof and secrets of which we have
not yet so found as that, as eye-witnesses, we can
make narration thereof; but if God give time and means,
we shall ere long discern both the extent of that river
and the secrets thereof; and also try what territories,
habitations, or commodities may be found either in it or
about it,"
Now, sir, your own knowledge of New York will en-
able you to see, that when a Griswold and a Grinnell
lead the merchants^ when a Beecher and a Cheever
thunder in the pulpit, a Bryant and a Greeley lead the
free press, and a Morgan wields the sceptre of chief
magistrate of New York, these descendants of the Pil-
grims have " found the extent of that river, the secrets
thereof, and what various territories, habitations or com-
modities may be found in or about it." This ignorant
Pilgrim as some men count ignorance, as to geography,
was not far out of the way. I think the river goes
in at the fortieth degree of latitude, as he said, but who
shall say where it goeth out ? Into the Atlantic, into the
Pacific, into the Arctic and Antarctic Seas, into the In-
dian Ocean. Wherever water flows about the earththis
river goeth out, and the secret of it is this — that it is
the gateway into the continent of America from all the
oceans in the world." (Applause.) *****
(81)
Mr. President, very soon after the Puritans planted
their feet upon this soil, a missionary from the Governor
of New Amsterdam, at the month of the Hudson, visited
them, and among the many things which he saw and
made note of, was an interesting exhibition of the native
tribes of this region. *****
In speaking of the preparation of their youths for the
hardy labors and trials of their scanty life, he says: —
" When there is a youth who begins to approach man-
hood, he is taken by his father, uncle or nearest friend,
and is conducted blindfolded into the wilderness, in order
that he may not know the way, and is there left by night
or otherwise, with a bow and arrows, and a hatchet and
a knife. He must support himself there a whole winter,
with what the scanty earth furnishes at this season, and
by hunting. Towards spring they come again and
fetch him out of it."
Now, sir, who led the Pilgrims " blindfolded into the
wilderness but their Father and their nearest friend?"
Who left them in tMe night-time here, and withdrew not
only the sunshine of his favor, but the paler moon and
the cheering stars? Who bade them, through the long
winter, gain their sterling virtue by such scanty fooa
as the earth produced and by hunting? and who, when
the long winter had passed, — who but He to whom a
thousand years are but as one day, He who is King of
nations no less than the God of the Pilgrim and the saint,
— who when the spring approached came and brought
this band of exiles out of the long winter of oppression.
and brought them up again into the light of the world
to stand among the nations of the earth, but this same,
"their Father and their nearest friend r " Who bade
them settle here, whence there might be thrown out over
the whole country in the form of emigration a distribu-
tion of their power, of their virtue, of their courage ?
Who led them away from what they would have chosen
— the fairer scenes of a more southern clime? This is
the method by which our ancestor, " Father and nearest
friend," prepared those virtues which have given us this
vast country and peopled it with this uncounted popula-
tion. (Applause.)
But, Mr. President, let us as the children of those
fathers feel and know that the true heritage which they
have transmitted to us, and which we are solemnly bound
to transmit to our descendants unimpaired, is not mate-
rial aggrandizement.
Their fame is founded upon the real greatness of their
souls and is imperishable ; no praise can brighten it and
no censure dim ; and we must perpetuate their domin-
ion and amplify their inheritance Dy the same means,
upon the same principles. And now that we have brought
here on this altar or our filial devotion this our monu-
mental gift, let us remember the solemn admonition to
him who brought gifts to the altar of Hebrew devotion :
"If thou bring thy gift to the altar and remember that
thy brother hath aught against thee, leave there thy gift
upon the altar and go to thy brother." If we, the de-
scendants of the Pilgrims, have been wanting in their
stern energy, in their unflinching intrepidity against
power, against wrong ; if we have been proud and cruel ;
if against later exiles we have had inhospitable hearts;
jf against the poor and oppressed of our country we
have closed our affections, these our brethren have much
against us, and, as we lay this monumental gift on the
altar of patriotism, let us go to our brother, poor, op-
pressed, despised, wherever and whoever he may be,
and learn that there is no consecration here for this
monument, unless the spirit of the Pilgrims is revived,
their energies renewed, and we fight in our day until we
conquer, as they fought and conquered in life. (Loud
applause.)
Let us remember that equality of right was nothing
without community of sympathy, and that equality of
right and community of sympathy were nothing with-
out reciprocity of duty, and let me give you, sir, these
three great principles upon which the Pilgrim common-
wealth was reared, and upon which our wider republic
must stand or fall. Let me give you^—
" Equality of Eight, Community of interest, Reciprocity
of Duty — the triple arch upon which must rest the
greatest monument to the fame of the Pilgrim exiles, —
the welfare and permanence of this great Republic."
(Loud cheering.)
Speech of Hon. S. P. Chase.
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of Massachu-
setts: When I came here to-day, it was with no other
purpose than to manifest my dflBOsition to co-operate
with you in rearing a monument to the memory of our
Pilgrim fathers, i came with no prepared speech, with
no set phrase, but with a heart brimftdl of love to New
England and her institutions; — not to New England
alone, but for New England as a part of our common
country, embalmed in all our hearts. (Applause.) I,
Sir, desired to take my humble part in testifying throu *
this enterprise in which you are engaged to-day to the
worth of those who have gone before us. I feel, as you
Massachusetts men can hardly feel, the worth of their
great example, for I came from a State which was peo-
pled by the descendants of the Pilgrims, — the corner-
stones of whose prosperity were laid by men who were
nurtured in New England, and who partook largely of
the spirit of New England.
You have laid here to-day the corner-stone of a mon-
ument which is to commemorate the landing of the Pil-
grims and the institutions of which they laid the founda-
tions; but while the May Flower came from the Old
World, freighted with empire, with institutions, with
laws, with order, and last and best with Freedom—
(applause), there was in 1788 to be seen wending its way
from among the hills of Berkshire towards the setting
sun a train of rude wagons, in which, as in the May
Flower of 1620, were garnered the destinies of the
mighty West. It was a son of Massachusetts, a patriot
of the Revolution, a soldier enjoying the confidence of
Washington, who gathered about him a few Massachu-
setts and Connecticut men t and emigrated in 1788 to the
shores of the beautiful Ohio, and there laid the founda-
tions of a new Plymouth. At Marietta, on the banks of the
Ohio, Rufus Putnam and his associates commenced the
great work of western civilization. • • • • •
Ohio herself, deriving her institutions from the sa-
gacity of a New England man, but not from him alone,
but also from the concurrent wisdom of all the states-
men of the day. North and South — Ohio, receiving the
first impress of her civilization from the united wisdom
of the whole country, stands to-day as a type of the
Union such as our fathers made it, and such as, I hope in
God, it may be yet. (Applause.) We are, Mr. President,
a people gathered from many lands. As yet. our institu-
tions are the work of all our fathers. We nave no nar-
row, no sectional, no bigoted spirit. We welcome the
American from whatever country he may come, and there
we unite as brother with brother. Virginia has contrib-
uted her share ; Massachusetts has contributed her share :
Connecticut has furnished a part of our population, and
South Carolina has furnished another part. From the
Green Isle ot the Ocean, from the banks of the Rhine,
from every quarter of the world, we welcome those whose
love of liberty and free institutions directed them to our
shores, and in doing so we build a monument worthy of
the descendants of the Pilgrims. (Applause.) • • •
We are indebted, let me say here, to New England,
not merely for much in the original foundation of our
institutions, but we are indebted in some part also to
New England for the care with which these institutions
have been reared. We are indebted to New England
for our system of common schools, and for much of our
religious culture and our literary attainment; and I
should be unjust to my own feelings, if, seeing here my
venerable friend, whom I knew in Cincinnati (Dr.
Beecher), who contributed so much to the foundations of
the Western world, who, as has been quaintly said, is
the father of more brains than any other man in America
(laughter), if I did not take this opportunity to tender to
him, a son, I believe, of Connecticut, but an honored
citizen of Massachusetts, my cordial thanks for the part he
has played in the formation of western morals ana west-
ern manliness. (Loud applause.)
We find in Ohio a virtue which has, I believe, a New
England name, and it goes under the denomination of
Pluck. (Laughter.) And to that virtue, as well as to
others, New England teachings have contributed a very
large share.
But I must not detain you; I have already said more
than I intended when I rose. Let me close then by ex-
\
ling my great gratification in all that I have seen
ty. I nave been gratified, and greatly gratified, by
to© sentiments which your worthy Governor has so elo-
quently announced. I have been more than gratified by
teeing a spectacle such as I doubt any spot, other than
this rock of Plymouth, could exhibit — so many intelli-
gent men, so many lovely women, gathered together for
so noble a purpose. And let me say that I trust this
Uuonment will be built much sooner than the distant
time to which our excellent friend, the Governor, has
alluded.
I want to see it built in much less than a quarter of a
century, for I do not know that some of us will be here
aquarter of a century hence to witness its completion.
We have been in the habit of doing things a great deal
quicker out in Ohio ; we do not like to put off anything
tnat is worth doing to so distant a day. While I concur
in the remark of his Excellency, that it is the duty of
everybody to give his mite to the monument, perhaps I
should spell it a little differently — might; give that
kind of mite to the monument. (Laughter and loud
applause.) Then the monument will be built. Then
we may hope within some reasonable time to assemble
here again, some of us not much older than we are now,
to rejoice that the work which has been so auspiciously
begun has been more auspiciously completed. (Ap-
plause.)
Why, it is a shame to think of so long a time in con-
nection with this movement. Did you think, Mr. Gov-
ernor, when you talked about twenty-five years, that the
few tnousand men of the first emigratives to New Eng-
land had already swelled to some seven millions ? Are
we to put off twenty-five years that which we have got
seven millions of men and women to do ? Why, I be-
lieve the ladies might knit stockings enough to build the
monument in less time than that (laughter); and those
who cannot knit stockings might knit those more modern
articles of workmanship of wnich I am very sorry to say
I do not know the name. (Renewed merriment.)
But we are going to complete this monument. We in
Ohio will do a little, you in Massachusetts will do a
neat deal, and all New England will do something, and
thus the monument is to be built.
And then, when that is accomplished, I will tell you
what I should like to see — the sons and daughters of New
England joining hands with their brothers of Virginia to
build another monument at Jamestown, to commemo-
rate the settlement there, — thus proving to them, if we
do love liberty and mean to maintain it, yet we are all
brethren of a common Union, and mean to maintain
" Liberty and Union " one and inseparable now and for-
ever. (Prolonged and enthusiastic applause.)
Speech op Hon. John P. Hale, op New Hampshire.
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : When I ac-
cepted an invitation to be present here to-day, I had
hoped that, among the great lions of Massachusetts and
other States who would be present, so humble an indi-
vidual as myself might be overlooked (laughter); and
I should not venture to trespass upon your patience now
•were it not for a little incident that occurred in the cars
as I came down.
. [After the recital of this incident and other facetious
remarks, the speaker continued:] But there is one
thought that I want to throw out, and then I will sit
down. Why have we met here to-day to build a monu-
ment to the Pilgrims ? Is not Plymouth itself a monu-
ment? Is not Massachusetts a monument? Is not all
New England a great living, breathing, speaking monu-
ment to the Pilgrims of New England ? Is not every
temple of religious worship, every school-house, every
academy, every college — are they not all monuments
to the memory of the New England Pilgrims ? Then,
sir, why the necessity of coming here to-day and lay-
ing the corner-stone of another monument? I do not
know what is in the hearts of the rest of you, but I
will tell you what is in my own. I want the monument,
notwithstanding; and if we had more such living
monuments, I should say of this monumental stone, let
it rise ! And why ? I want it raised as a monument to
the memory of the past, a monument to the present, and
an eternal provocative to the future. (Loud applause.)
I know there are some men who think that this agitation,
which was introduced by the great principles of the
Pilgrim Fathers of New England!, has gone far enough.
There are some timid conservative friends, worried to
death by the agitation which has been kept up by the
proclamation of those eternal principles which that mon-
ument is built to commemorate. (Applause.) But, sir,
I am not of the number. (Great cheering.) I want the
war to go on. I know, sir, we have fought thejaemy
at Montebello, and Magenta, and Solferino, and Kb not
want to make a cowardly truce or a dastardly peace,
but to carry the war on until the Austrians are driven
out of Italy. (Rapturous applause.) That is what the
monument will mean to me, every time I look at it.
(Cheers.) And, sir, I want it to stand there as a great
eye-salve, to cure the distorted vision of those politicians
who are constantly seeing danger in the future from the
progress, promulgation and prosecution of the great
trutns which were foreshadowed by the Pilgrims, and
which are commemorated by the monument which we
are about to build. (Applause.)
This is the meaning which the monument has to my
mind ; and if it has not that meaning, I say let it re-
main incomplete ; and if we have come to a nalt in the
prosecution of the sentiments and principles which our
Pilgrim Fathers promulgated and inaugurated, I say let
it stand there, just exactly as we have left it, until there
shall come upon the stage of action a generation that
shall appreciate the past, understand the present, and
have faith in the future. (Loud cheers.) When that
time comes, the monument will go up, and you cannot
help it. It will want no ** mites " little or great; but by
the inherent force which is in every man's bosom who
inherits those principles, that monument will go up. I
think, sir, we have done a good thing in laying the cor-
ner-stone of that monument, because in future years it
will serve as a thermometer to indicate just how high
the public sentiment stands in respect to progress.
(Cheers.)
Now, sir, I do not believe that we have done with
those great truths which the Pilgrims proclaimed. I
do not believe that the revolution which here commenced
when our fathers stepped on Plymouth Rock, and Faith
and Hope and Propnecy shook hands together, and his-
tory commenced — I do not believe that revolution is
finished. No, sir; it is only the beginning that is fin-
ished; and I hope, as has been suggested, there will be
another monument erected. We have one monument
on Bunker Hill — a monument to tMlh kind of courage
which manifested itself on the field of battle, erected by
the gratitude of one generation to the patriotism of an-
other. That is well. We, sir, to-day have laid the cor-
ner-stone of another monument, — a monument to that
spirit of religious liberty which made its way through
fields of blood, and to that spirit of liberty without which
that other revolution commemorated by the monument
on Bunker Hill would never have occurred. (Applause.)
That is the monument that we lay to-day; and, sir,
I hope that, if we do not, our posterity will engage in
laying the corner-stone or another monument, and that
monument shall bo one to commemorate the full fruition
of all the Pilgrims prayed for, and patriots fought for,
and that it shall be in the possession of ourselves or our
children. (Applause.) I hope, sir, that that monument
will one day De erected, and that it may be like the
mark which was made upon the posts by the ancient
children of God, that when our children and our chil-
dren's children look upon them, they may be told that
this is to commemorate the beginning, that one stage in
the progress, and that the last and final one commemo-
rates the consummation of that which was prayed and
fought for so long, (Applause.)
Mr. President, I thank you for the kindness and candor
with which you have listened to me. I rejoice in the
common history, the common principles, and the com-
mon destiny of New England. I rejoice to-day that this
monument is to be built; I rejoice that it has been in
your hearts to build it; and 1 pray Almighty God that
it may be in the hearts of all of us not only to build this
monument, but to preserve a nobler and a higher monu-
ment to the memory of New England, and that is, the
vindication of New England principles, in whatever thea-
tre, on every proper occasion. (Prolonged cheering.)
THE PILGRIM SOCIETY, AND THE NATIONAL
MONUMENT TO THE FOREFATHERS
The corner-stone of the National Monument to the
Forefathers having been laid, it seems not inappro-
priate in tliis place to give a brief history of the origin of
the Pilgrim Society, and of the events connected with the
moiu&nt up to the present time.
Thenrst celebration of the landing of the forefathers was
on Friday, December 22, 1769, by the Old Colony Club,
an organization founded chiefly upon social considerations,
— at which the entertainments, after the procession of the
club to their hall, were a dinner, consisting of various Old
Colony edibles, cooked in "the plainest manner,"-— a
song by the pupils of the grammar school, and various
toasts and afldresscs at the table. In the following year
(1770) the first stated oration upon the Pilgrim Fathers
was delivered by Edward "Winslow, Jr. Esq. These cele-
brations were continued regularly until, and including, the
year 1780, when they were suspended until the year 1794,
upon which occasion the address was delivered by Rev.
Chandler Robbins, D.D.
The present Pilgrim Society was organized in 1820, two
hundred years after the landing, by citizens of Plymouth,
and other places in New England, to commemorate the
landing of the forefathers, and to perpetuate by enduring
monuments their memory and sufferings. The first presi-
dent was Hon. Joshua Thomas. Although the erecting of
an enduring monument was one of the chief objects of the
society at its formation, no steps were taken to that end
for a number of years. Bunker Hill Monument was just
about to be commenced, and such was the state of the
country, then far from its present advancement, that the
works of collecting funds and construction proceeded but
slowly, and the apparent indifference with which it was
regarded by the people of the country, cast a shade of
doubt upon all enterprises of a similar nature. The
society however wisely kept in mind its original purpose,
and a knowledge of the pilgrims and regard for their
memory were diffused and stimulated by the annual
addresses made at its celebrations by the most distin-
guished* scholars, orators, and statesmen of the country.
The first oration, delivered in December of this year (1820)
by the Hon. Daniel Webster, has taken its place among
the fixed stars of classical oratory, and would in itself have
made the Pilgrims immortal.
Up to the year 1850 the celebration of Forefathers' Day
had taken place o^the 22d of December, that having been
incorrectly accounted the date of their landing according
to the reckoning of the New Style. On the 2/th of May
in this year, a committee, consisting of James Savage,
Charles H. Warren, Nathaniel B. Shurtletf, Abraham
Jackson, and Timothy Gordon, presented a report recom-
mending that the celebration be held on the 21st, which
was unanimously adopted by the society, and it has since
been observed upon that day when practicable.
At a meeting of the society, held March 10th, 1853, ex-
pressly called for the purpose, the trustees were authorized
and requested to make suitable arrangements for the first
celebration on the 1st of August of that year, of the anni-
versary of the departure from Delfthaven, it being the two
hundred and thirty-third year since the occurrence. No
surer indication of the veneration with which the memory
of the Pilgrims has come to be cherished throughout the
land of their adoption could possibly be obtained, than
the universal interest felt throughout the country in this
celebration, — and it was considered, therefore, as the
proper occasion for testing the public opinion upon the
" long-cherished purpose of the society to erect an appro-
priate monument to their memory, and in honor of those
great principles of civil and religious liberty which they
first successfully established," — and the response which
was given to the proposition at that time, induced the
board of trustees, at the suggestion of the president, Rich-
ard Warren, Esq., of New York, to take measures imme-
diately afterwards to procure a suitable design for the
proposed structure.
It was not until May, 1855, that, after many designs had
been presented and rejected, the present one "was accepted
upon the most careful consideration. It was first presented
to a committee appointed by the trustees expressly for the
purpose of examining the design, and the proposals for car-
rying it into execution, and with directions to report
whether it was advisable for the society to accept it, it
being understood that its expense was much greater than
the society originally deemed sufficient to erect the pro-
posed monument. The whole matter having been con-
sidered by the committee, — the colossal size of the monu-
ment, its unavoidable expense, — the necessary removal
of the site from the immediate vicinity of the Rock to a
location giving more height of position and greater space
around it, — the time which would be consumed in collect-
ing the funds and in erecting the monument, having been
all presented, — it was unanimously reported that the
committee deem it advisable that the board of trustees
should accept the design, and recommend them to do so.
Upon this report the design was formally accepted by the
board of trustees, and their action was subsequently I
approved by the society.
A few remarks upon the nature, extent, and cost of the
work, will complete all that is necessary to be said in the
present place. The Pilgrim Society, in determining to erect
a monument to the Forefathers, intended to make a struc-
ture which should bear upon its face the avowed intention
of its founders, and transmit to future generations not
merely the facts that the Pilgrims landed upon the Rock of
Plymouth, and there commenced the founding of this na-
tion, which might well be left to the records of history,—
but the regard in which their memory and sufferings were
held by their descendants and heirs of the nineteenth cen-
tury, who look back to them from an eminence of national
prosperity, which shows a vast empire extending across a
continent from ocean to ocean, filled with great cities, and
decked from border to border — and from shore to shore—
with splendid dwellings, magnificent churches, colleges,
schools, and asylums for the unfortunate ; noisy with
ceaseless industry, rich with the sources of inexhaustible
wealth, and presenting to the imagination, — even to the
inevitable conclusion of thought, — a Future, to which the
wealth and prosperity and power and resources of the Pre-
sent are as trivial as the possessions of that strong-souled
band of adventurous emigrants compared with our own.
It was naturally concluded that the memorial of such 8
nation to its founders should bear some .proportion to its
means, and to the grandeur of the event which was to be
commemorated. It was thought that the expenditure of a
sum representing one cent for each inhabitant might not
be regarded as an extent of National Self Sacrifice, — if
that be the term, — too enormous to be borne, nor the
amount itself altogether too magnificent to be expended;
and, in view of the fact that the monument is to stand for
centuries, ten years (the term of one-fourth of the exist-
ence of one generation,) was not accounted too long a
period to be occupied with the work. It should be borne
in mind that, travel with what success we may the career
of national glory and progress, the landing upon these
shores of that hundred of self-exiled lovers or freedom will
still be the starting point of our history, — and that, grand
as may be the events with which it is crowded, nothing will
overshadow in pure, grand solemnity of thought and action,
their determination to leave forever the scenes of civilized
life, to battle, perhaps, with famine, and disease. — certainly
with unused-to labor, to settle in a savage wilderness, ana
all to plant the seeds of a pure faith and of universal reli-
gious, social, and civil freeaom. History will look in vain
for a greater event to chronicle, — art will never again
for us have the opportunity, or the occasion, to embody
themes so simply grand, so peculiarly significant. It is
worthy then of all that art can offer as a testimony.
Nor will the generations which succeed us think greatly
of our veneration for our forefathers, if, sounding it as we
do from the extreme boundaries of the Republic, in our
speeches and addresses, we stint with paltry pecuniary
saving the stones which we raise to their memory, — and
deny to their virtues, their sufferings, — their labors, their
wise forethought, — the sum which we cheerfully give (and
should cheerfully give) to rescue the dwelling and tomb of
Washington from destruction, — or to build (as we should
build) on spots made famous by the shock of battle, shafts
which, meeting " the sun in his coming," proclaim that we
owe our national glory in other directions to the sacrifices
of those who have passed away ; for never had a people
more cause to be grateful to the memory of their founders,
or more imperative occasion to obey with cheerful alac-
rity, love, and thankfulness, the command— "Honor thy
fattier and thy mother ! "
(34)
The design for tK National Monument to the Fore-
fathers, to be erected at Plymouth, consists of an octagon
pedestal, on -which stands a statue of Faith. From the
four smaller faces of the pedestal project buttresses, upon
which are seated figures emblematic of Morality, Educa-
tion, Law, and Liberty. Below them, in panels, are alto-
reliefs of " The Departure from Delfthaven, " The Signing
of the Social Compact in the Cabin of the May Flower,
" The Landing at Plymouth," and " The First Treaty with
the Indians." Upon the four large faces of the main
pedestal are large panels, to contain records of the princi-
pal events in the nistory of the Pilgrims, with the names
of those who came over in the May Flower, and below are
smaller panels for records connected with the society and
the building of the monument.
A chamber within the pedestal, 26 feet in diameter, and
well lighted, is to be a depository for all documents, &c,
relating to the pilgrims and the society, including an accu-
rate record of tne receipts and expenditures for the monu-
ment, and a list of the names of subscribers of #1 and
over, arranged by states, counties, and towns, and alpha-
betically, so as to be easily referred to. In tnis chamber
will be a stairway leading to the platform upon which
stands the figure of Faith, from which may be seen all the
places of interest connected with the history of the fore-
lathers. The whole monument will be about 150 feet high,
and 80 feet at the base. The Statue of Faith rests her
foot upon the Forefather's Bock; in her left hand she
holds an open Bible ; with the right uplifted she points to
heaven. Looking downward, as to those she is addressing,
she seems to call them to trust in a higher power. The
sitting figures are emblematic of the principles upon which
the Pilgrims proposed to found their Commonwealth. The
first of these is Morality. She holds the Decalogue in her
left, and the Scroll of Revelation in her right hand. Her
look is upward, towards the impersonation of the Spirit of
Religion above. In a niche, on one side of her throne, is
a Prophet, and in the other, one of the Evangelists. The
second of these figures is Law. On one side of his seat is
Justice; on the other, Mercy. The third is Education.
In the niche on one side of her seat, is Wisdom, ripe with
years; on the other, Youth, led by Experience. The
fourth figure is Freedom. On one side, Peace rests under
his protection ; on the other, Tyranny is overthrown by his
prowess.
The Statue of Faith will be 70 feet' high, and the sitting
figures 38 feet high, — thus making it in magnitude the
greatest work of the kind in the world ; while as a work
of art, it will afford pleasure to every American citizen.
The Pilgrim Society decided, in 1850, to erect a monu-
ment, after which" and previous to the final acceptance of this
design, the trustees had taken measures to secure a subscrip-
tion, — and something more than twenty thousand dollars
were subscribed ; a considerable portion of which has been
collected, and appropriated to the purchase of the estates in
the immediate vicinity of the Rock, and upon Cole's Hill, —
which it is proposed to clear up, grade, and finish in an
appropriate manner. And over the Rock itself, to mark
the spot of landing, and stand as a permanent record and
guard, is to be placed a Canopy or granite, under which
the Rock, which has for about a century been hidden be-
neath the roadway of a wharf, will be visible to all fu-
ture pilgrims, and beyond the reach of those who would
injure it with sacrilegious hands.
The Monument enterprise is conducted in the most
economical manner. Collecting agents are paid, in all
cases, by commission; if, therefore, they make no col-
lections," they receive no compensation; and all receipts
have been employed in the purchase of estates and lands
in Plymouth, in preparing models and materials neces-
sary to the prosecution of the work, and in advancing it
to its present stage.
Persons desiring to do so, can have access at the office
to the books in which is kept an accurate account of all
receipts and expenditures of every kind connected with
the work. It may however be stated in general, in this
connection, that the whole amount subscribed is a little
over $50,000, of which the sum of about $18,000 remains
uncollected.
In regaid to the expense, to which some have objected,
it may be proper to remark that it includes what is
given back to subscribers in the form of engravings and
statuettes. If the subscriber chooses not to take any
thing in return, then he gives directly, and so much the
more as the articles cost. Let every one do something,
whatever he can afford ; every little helps.
Statues, monuments, memorial structures, etc., to the
amount or about $1,800,000, are already in existence, or
in progress, in honor of Washington, a single individual;
but not the first monumental structure has yet been
erected to the memory and in honor of the Pilgrims, —
the Founders of our civil and religious liberty.
In view of what has already been accomplished, the
completion of the work can be regarded as only a ques-
tion of time ; for there cannot be a doubt in the minds of
any who know this people and measure to the depths
the extent of their loyalty to the principles of the Pil-
grim Fathers, shown to its full strength only in times of
great trial, that this work, 60 auspiciously commenced,
will be carried onward with energy to a successful ter-
mination.
It will not be improper to add in this connection that
hesitation in regard to their subscriptions on the part of
its friends, and delay in their payment, necessarily pro-
long the time and increase the expense.
" A people capable of greatness will not forget the
virtues of their fathers; reverently will they cherish
them, and gratefully present them m all their lustre for
the respect and imitation of after ages."
Hon. John T. Hr«lbxk

CANOPY OVER FOREFATHERS' ROCK.
The structure now erecting over the Rock upon which
the Forefathers landed, is an architectural canopy of granite,
of which the annexed engraving represents one of the four
faces. It may be described as consisting of four angle
cative of the pilgrim character of the enterprise of the
Fathers. The canopy measures about fifteen feet square
at its extreme points, and is about thirty feet high. The
corner-stone was laid on the 2d of August, 1859, at the
same time as the corner-stone of the National Monument ;
and the work is now set in granite as high as the top of
the columns.
. A view of the National Monument to the Forefathers,
together with a full description of it, is given on the
preceding page ; a miniature view of it may be seen on
the cover of this book ; steel-plate engravings of it are
being extensively circulated; it is therefore deemed un-
necessary to do more in this place than to give the ground
plan, showing also the commencement of the stairway by
which the ascent is to be made within the superstructure.
piers, decorated with three-quarter reeded columns of the
Tuscan order, standing on pedestals, and supporting a
composed entablature above which is an attic. Between
the piers on each face is an open arch, so that the Rock is

visible from all sides. In each face of the attic is to be a
tablet for inscriptions. Above the rock, the canopy is
finished on the inside with a domed ceiling, also of granite.
The structure is surmounted with the scallop shell indi-
The foundation, laid in the most substantial manner in
cement, and forming one mass of solid masonry, contains
about one thousand Jive hundred tons of Quincy granite.
The site selected for this monument, as the only suita-
ble one not already preoccupied, is on one of the highest
elevations in the village of PlymouM, and is approved by
all unprejudiced and disinterested persons. It is directly
west of the anchorage of the " J%y-Flower," and com-
mands a fine view of the harbor and village of Plymouth,
and all the places of interest connected with the early
history of the Pilgrims. Rev. E. N. Kirk, D. D., thus
speaks of it : —
"I approve the site selected for the principal monu-
ment. The Rock itself is, in rigid historical accuracy,
the site for a monument commemorating the landing of
the exiles. But while it is on too low a level for the best
artistic and moral effect, — too much surrounded with
the more rude and ordinary scenes of life,— there are
other considerations which justify the selection of a more
prominent and conspicuous position. The very object of
the monument is ideal and commemorative. It is de-
signed to carry the mind to the past, not specifically to
the spot where their little skiff first touched the main
land. 4 *Tis all hallowed ground;." and of the whole
sacred scene of primitive Pilgrim life, we should select
the most favorable for general effect. But the Rock, or
even Cole's Hill, occupies too low a level as well as too
contracted a space for this purpose. This monument
must be the commanding object to the traveller as he
approaches the hallowed scene of the Pilgrims' sufferings,
toils, and prayers, — the cradle of an Empire."

" We find men of education who seem to have no exact information respecting the Pilgrim
Fathers. The ignorance still existing on this subject ifl almost incredible." — Dr. Waddington,

i, and the same reverence for the Pilgrim Fathers. And whoever from pure and disinterested regard for the
ject, and desire for its accomplishment, could aid the Ladies' Mount Vernon Association in their noble work,
nnot withhold their mite from this Monument merely on the ground that it is a local object, or a work less na-
in its feeling than the paying of any honor to any patriot, any statesman, any benefactor. Let the Fouxd-
as well as the Defenders of the Republic be honored.
There are in the six New England States somewhere about half a million of voters. They are chiefly advanced
■isiderably beyond the want of the mere necessaries of civilized life; they constitute, with their brethren of the
Pier States, the best educated people in the world ; they support schools, churches, colleges, educational institu-
of every grade ; they pay hundreds of thousands, — millions a year f;r charities, hundreds of thousands
amusements, hundreds of thousands for intellectual recreation, — for books, lectures, etc., to say nothing of
millions spent in ephemeral enjoyments. How long need it take them to build this Monument to their ances-
s? TVonld it be much for half of them to give, at this moment, one dollar each? This would bo more than is
Iqnired. No one can question that they are able to do this.
Is it too much to ask these 500,000 persons — Give of your overplus, or give of your saving prudence or self-
ial, to the average of ten cents a year for five years ? But we are not limited to voters alone ; we arc not
nited to New England, or to the North, or even to the United States. Already has an invitation come to us to
id our agents to our mother country, who still prides herself in giving birth to the Pilgrims of the May Flower,
1 vies with us in doing them honor. Indeed, wherever the English language is spoken, the memory of those
n is cherished at the hearthstones of all those who are kindled to devotion at the recital of deeds of heroism,
.orifice, and stern endurance.
. The aim is to carry this work forward on tho most economical plan. The Architect is now receiving no com-
Bnsation, that being provisional entirely on the completion of the work. As far as practicable, to save expense,
re employed who, having other means of livelihood, can labor for a moderate remuneration, as is the case
rfth the General and Financial Agent. Some of the local agents, giving but an incidental attention to the work,
no compensation; others, devoting more time, receive a commission less than is paid to many agents for mis-
looary and charitable societies.
An objection has been made to the giving of certificates, statuettes, etc., to subscribers. This objection,
tthough made by a very small minority of persons, it is perhaps well to meet by a statement of the grounds upon
ihich they are given.
1. They are an inducement to some to subscribe who would not otherwise do so.
1. They will take the place, oftentimes, of other things of like nature which are procured merely as ornaments
matters of taste. Those who obtain them on this ground can feel that all they give beyond their cost will go
-not, as in the case of articles purchased at the shops, to enable the seller to amass a fortune and build a costly
ixuion — but to aid the Pilgrim Society in their noble and patriotic enterprise.
8. The Monument is intended not only as a memorial of the Landing of the Pilgrims, and a commemoration of
deeds and sufferings, but as an expression of the gratitude of their descendants for the inestimable benefits dc-
llved from the great principles upon which their commonwealth was founded. To keep these always before the
Binds of their descendants, and,/or the benefit of those who may not be able to visit Plymouth, it is desirable (and
ronld more than compensate for its cost) to place a good representation of the monument in every house in
be land; and it is hoped one will be called for to be put in every public library, the hall of every association, in
irerj seminary, public school, pastor's study, and lady's parlor iu the country.
[To the Editor op the Boston Daily Advertiser:
On Friday last, I made my pilgrimage to Plymouth
lock. When standing there, I felt it to be the holiest
pound on which I had trod after some five thousand
fles of travel through this glorious land, though I must
lfess my heart's aeep feelings of reverence were un-
isantly jarred by the previous sight of those funereal
ftppings in the front of Pilgrim Hall. / could not mourn
T tne departed sauits and heroes of the May Flower, I
felt that ii it were possible their names should be wiitten
b flames of fire, and lifted up from that spot toward
heaven to draw men there, and inspire them with the
ike patient endurance, beautifying hope and undying
kith. I heard with pleasure that a Monument worthy
if the sainted memories of the Pilgrim Fathers was pro-
posed to be erected. I hope tho gentlemen who have
token this business in charge will not forget that Eng-
and venerates the memory of her worthiest sons, and
trills with, emotion at every recital of their glorious
leads.
The embarkation of " the adventurers " is one of the
few historical fresco-paintings that adorn the walls of
the National Palace at Westminster, of subjects deemed
tnost fitting by the public sentiment of England for re-
membrance and gratitude, and, as an Englishman, I
Brink that such a monument as the one to be erected at
Plymouth should be the joint work of both nations. Tho
Pilgrim Fathers of America were our sons, tho Pil-
grim mothers our daughters. Thero is a common senti-
ment of reverence for them through both nations. "What
more proper course than that both nations should join'
to celebrate their virtues in a common testimony of
veneration and love? Every true Englishman — every
true American — must desire the most perfect practica-
ble union of both nations, and everything that can brinjr
them nearer together, so that one soul shall animate
them both, should bo nailed with enthusiastic joy.
I trust that the committee of management will dele-
gate some one of their number to go to England with the
completed plan of tho Monument, and go from town to
town, to announce the object proposed, and I am puro
he will meet with a response worthy of my country.
Thero are thousands who would gladly aid in its accom-
plishment, and a Monument so erected, ami hairing on
its front a record of the erection and dedication by the
two kindred nations, would suggest feelings of amity
and fraternal relationship to all the thousands of visitants
from both hemispheres, and tend powerfully, in its own
degree, to cement perpetual peace and amity betweeu
England and America.
I am, sir, vours faithfully, ENGLISHMAN.
Boston, Sent/21, 1858.
